On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, a powerful evening of music, inspiration, and purpose will take center stage at North Point Hamilton Mill Campus, located at 2000 Gravel Springs Road, Buford, Georgia 30519. The event, known as All In Foster Jam, is a collaborative effort between Connections Homes and All In Empowering Futures, designed to raise awareness and support for young adults who have aged out of foster care and are navigating life on their own.
This special night will bring together artists, advocates, and the community in a shared mission to provide hope and connection for some of the most vulnerable youth in our society.
A Night of Music and Meaning
All In Foster Jam is more than a concert—it’s a call to action. Attendees will enjoy live performances with Grammy-winning Christian singer Mac Powell, formerly of Third Day, headlining. Also performing will be Christian rapper Tyree, whose music delivers a message of redemption and resilience. Popular radio personality Taylor Scott will serve as emcee, bringing energy and connection to the evening.
The event will also feature keynote messages from Lynn Johnson, Former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Administration for Children and Families, and Pam Parish, Founder and CEO of Connections Homes. Together, their stories and insights will shed light on the urgent need to support youth aging out of the foster care system—and the transformational impact that mentorship and relationships can have on a young person’s future.
The Mission Behind the Music
The purpose of All In Foster Jam is to bring visibility to the challenges facing youth who have aged out of foster care and to raise support for organizations that are doing life-changing work in this space. Every year, more than 20,000 young adults in the U.S. age out of foster care—often without stable housing, family support, or a reliable network. Many face homelessness, unemployment, or exploitation within the first few years of independence.
Connections Homes, founded in 2014 by Pam Parish, exists to address this crisis. The Georgia-based nonprofit matches young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who have aged out of foster care, or who have been disconnected from family, with mentoring families who commit to walking with them through the transition into adulthood. These relationships are long-term, stable, and built on trust, providing the emotional support and guidance that these youth desperately need but often lack.
Unlike traditional housing or assistance programs, Connections Homes focuses on relational support over institutional solutions. Their approach is rooted in the belief that every young person deserves to know that someone cares, and to have a family—or a caring adult—to turn to during life’s challenges. So far, the organization has made hundreds of successful matches, transforming lives through the power of connection.
Partnering for Greater Impact
The All In Foster Jam event is hosted in partnership with All In Empowering Futures, an initiative that brings together businesses, leaders, and communities to support vulnerable youth through education, mentorship, and opportunity. The collaboration between All In and Connections Homes demonstrates the strength of working together to empower futures—not just through financial support, but through community engagement, relationship-building, and long-term investment in people.
All In Foster Jam will serve as both a fundraiser and a platform for advocacy, inviting individuals, churches, and organizations to consider how they can get involved in supporting aged-out foster youth. Whether through financial contributions, volunteering, or becoming a mentoring family, attendees will leave the event with actionable ways to make a difference.
How Your Involvement Makes an Impact
For the young adults served by Connections Homes, the impact of having a mentoring family can be life-altering. Studies show that relational support significantly reduces the risk of homelessness, improves educational and employment outcomes, and increases emotional resilience. For youth who have experienced instability, trauma, and abandonment, the consistent presence of a caring adult is often the turning point toward a healthier, more hopeful future.
Moreover, these connections are not temporary—they are ongoing, meaningful relationships that provide the love, guidance, and community that many of us take for granted. The work of Connections Homes ensures that no young person has to face adulthood alone.
