Embrace icon

Since 1974, we have answered the call to serve vulnerable children and families across Northwest Florida. Today, Embrace Florida Kids continues that mission as a faith-based ministry dedicated to providing homes, healing and hope to children, youth and young adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, abandonment or other challenging circumstances.

With the safety and well-being of those we serve as our highest priority, we also work alongside families to strengthen relationships, overcome challenges and create opportunities for healing and restoration. Guided by God’s unconditional love, we provide compassionate care, encouragement and support to help children, youth, young adults and families build brighter, more stable futures.

“Embrace Florida Kids gave me more than just a safe place to call home. They surrounded me with people who truly cared about my well-being, encouraged me through difficult times and helped me believe in myself. With the support of the Embrace staff, I gained confidence, learned important life skills and began looking toward my future with hope. I will always be grateful for the love, stability and opportunities Embrace provided when I needed them most.”

Family Preservation & parenting support

Family Preservation provides intensive, in-home support to help families prevent child abuse and neglect, keep children safely in their homes and reunify families when children have been placed in foster care or removed from the care of a parent or custodian.

foster care

We work with foster families across Alabama and Northwest Florida to provide children and youth with safe, supportive homes when they cannot remain safely with their families. We recruit, license and equip foster parents with the training, resources and ongoing support they need to care for children with a variety of needs.

higher education program

We support students who have experienced foster care or other alternative living arrangements by providing stable housing, guidance and a supportive college community. Through academic, social and emotional support, students have the opportunity to pursue their education while developing the skills and confidence needed for greater independence.
