What happens to young people who age out of the foster care system?

In the US each year, approximately 23,000 young people between the ages of 18-21 age out of the foster care system – most of them undereducated and unqualified for jobs.

Statistics show that young people who age out of foster care without family support have increased rates of incarceration, unwanted pregnancies, and homelessness – are less likely to attend college, and struggle to find employment.

These youth are expected to make it on their own as independent adults!

If these facts don’t sit right with you either, read on to learn more about an exciting new opportunity to expand your philanthropic outreach and partner with the TWT Initiative to tackle this critically important issue.

Youth aging out of the foster care system need and deserve our assistance!
