Passionate donors, volunteers, mentors, partners, and advocates across the nation are all ripples in the sea of change for our foster care community.

1 out of 5 foster youth become homeless at age 18

50% of foster homes close within the first year

20,000 youth between the ages of 18-21 age out of the foster care system annually
