Standing behind Middle TN's foster youth with real support, real people, and zero red tape. Because every kid deserves someone watching their back.
In the military, “got your six” means “I’ve got your back.” At GYSIX, that’s not just our name, it’s our promise. We show up for kids in and aging out of foster care in Middle TN. Not with programs that look good on paper, but with the things that actually matter.
A warm meal. A fresh hairstyle. Someone who answers the phone at 2 AM. That’s what having someone’s six actually looks like. No jargon. No red tape. Just people who show up for kids who need it.
Every program we run ties back to a single idea: show up where the need is.
For a kid in foster care, something as simple as having their hair done can change how they walk into a room. The Crown Project provides professional braided styles and hair care that help youth show up to school, job interviews, and life feeling ready.
Get InvolvedEvery kid needs at least one adult who shows up consistently, no conditions, no expiration date. Our mentorship program pairs foster youth with volunteers who walk alongside them through the messy, beautiful process of growing up.
Become a Mentor
Hunger shouldn't be another thing a foster kid worries about. Our nourishment program provides groceries and warm meals to youth across Middle TN, because you can't focus on your future when your stomach is empty.
Help Feed a KidThese aren't just statistics. They're kids right here in Tennessee who deserve better.
Everyone deserves to feel valued, seen, and loved. Let us not love with speech and words, but with action and truth.
