About AcademySTAY

Empowering Foster Youth Through Community, Stability, and Opportunity. At AcademySTAY, we believe every foster youth deserves the chance to thrive. Our mission is to provide stable housing, supportive mentorship, and essential life skills to young adults transitioning out of foster care. By addressing housing insecurity and fostering a sense of community, we empower youth to pursue their dreams and build a brighter future.

More Than a Place to Stay

We don’t just offer housing—we create a home and a community. At AcademySTAY, every student is matched with a dedicated mentor who provides guidance, shares knowledge, and helps them connect to the Sacramento community. Through regularly scheduled events and activities, we foster meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging that lasts a lifetime.

Steps to Success

Success starts with preparation. Our students participate in hands-on life skills classes that cover everything from financial literacy and effective study habits to maintaining a healthy, organized living space. These foundational skills help them navigate adulthood with confidence and independence.
