We Launch Youth From
Foster Care To
​Self-Sufficiency

Making Dreams a Reality


The Challenge Youth in Transition Face

In most states the transition from foster care to the ‘real world’ is abrupt.  When a foster youth turns 18, they “age out” of the system and are left to shoulder all of the responsibilities of an adult. Aging out of foster care unprepared for the real world can have dire consequences.

3%

of foster care youth have a college degree.

40%

of those who spent time in foster care have been homeless.

75% of women and
33% of men

who have been in foster care receive government benefits to meet basic needs.
It is therefore critical that these youth are given opportunities to continue their education.
