Did you know?
Every year in the US, more than 23,000 foster youth age out of the foster care system.
20 percent of foster who age out instantly become homeless.
7 out of 10 girls who age out of the foster care system will become pregnant before the age of 21.
About half of youth raised in foster care end up finishing high school and less than a 3 percent earn a college degree at any point in their life.
We are committed to changing those outcomes!
