OUTCOMES
Cobbled Streets measures impact across three connected areas:
1) child healing and growth, 2) family capacity, and 3) community support.
​Children have opportunities to explore their interests, try new things, build confidence, create positive childhood memories, regulate emotions, connect with peers and trusted adults, feel valued for who they are, and experience moments where they can simply be kids.
Child Healing & Growth
Family Capacity
Caregivers are better able to support the children in their care when barriers to meaningful experiences are reduced. Shared experiences also create opportunities for bonding, trust-building, and positive family memories.
Community Support
Families build relationships with others who understand foster, kinship, and adoptive caregiving. Through community events and the Ambassador Project, caregivers find encouragement, resources, and nonjudgmental support that helps them feel less alone.

Together, these outcomes build toward Cobbled Streets’ long-term vision: children in foster and kinship care experiencing greater belonging, resilience, connection, and possibility, surrounded by caregivers and community who help them
heal and thrive.
STORIES & TESTIMONIALS
We continue to be amazed at how positive and powerful childhood activities can be for traumatized children who have had limited opportunities and who have rarely experienced anything uplifting or fun. Stories & testimonials help bring to life the transformative effect these experiences have on children in foster care. They reveal some of the most compelling evidence of our impact.
“Overall she is completely different from when she got to our home. Gymnastics is the first lesson/activity she has ever gotten to try, so she looks forward to it every week! She practices with our daughter all the time in the living room. She even shows me her new bar skills after school. This has had a huge impact on her and on me as a foster parent. Knowing there are people out there that we can partner with to make an impact on these kids. Even if it is just for a season of their lives. It allows them to dream of all the things they can do!”
