We advocates for change by raising awareness and pushing for better support structures for foster youth—especially those aging out of the system. We believe the current system often fails to meet their long-term needs.

We work directly with foster care agencies to identify and address specific needs that may not otherwise be met. Our goal is to support these young individuals in their transition into society as confident, productive members of the community.

When these young people age out of the system at 18 or 21 years old, they are often ill-equipped to navigate a successful path to a self-sufficient and independent adulthood. That is precisely when they become most vulnerable to homelessness, human trafficking, and a host of other threats and obstacles to their well-being. According to the U.S. Administration for Children and Families (ACF), by age 21, at least 26% had no health insurance and a quarter of these youth already had fathered or given birth to a child.
