The Heart Gallery's mission is to provide innovative programs that help to promote the adoption and enrichment of Broward's foster youth. We have since expanded into family support programs. Established in October 2006, the Heart Gallery of Broward began as a traveling photography exhibit showcasing foster children awaiting adoption, featuring professional photographs and personal biography cards to highlight their personalities.

Today, the gallery has transitioned to an online format to further the protection of our youth. Our physical outreach efforts now focus on adoption education and recruitment. Our three main program pillars are:

1. Finding Forever Families: Recruiting adoptive families through community events and educational outreach.

2. Youth Enrichment: Enhancing the lives of foster youth with programs like Birthday Buddy, Back-to-School Shopping Spree, holiday parties, and community outings we call Heart Days.

3. Family Services: Our WE CARE program provides resources and support through community partnerships to address the needs of our adoptive families and prevent adoption breakdowns through wrap-around community-based support.
