Become a Sustaining Donor

Friends Launching Futures is a monthly giving campaign where 100% of donations/funds are fully pledged to assisting young adults aging out of the foster care system. Through an individualized, youth driven approach FLF provides guidance and logistical resources for our Fellows to successfully transition to adulthood and reach their fullest potential. FLF works to  remove barriers, allowing Fellows to dream big, construct a path, and most of all make known that they are not alone.

No one chooses to grow up in foster care.  Despite challenges involved with aging out of the foster care system, Fellows of RJ Leonard Foundation choose to live their best life every day.​​

• 67% are pursuing post-secondary education

Life happens.
