Mission Statement
OUR MISSION Empower young adults aging out of foster care to transition successfully to adulthood and reach their fullest potential. WHY WE EXIST Los Angeles County is home to the nation’s largest foster care system. Each year, more than 1,000 young adults "age out" without a permanent family to guide them toward adulthood. With histories of trauma and instability, these young adults often struggle to advance without the support they deserve. They face high rates of homelessness, poverty, incarceration, mental health challenges, and unplanned pregnancy.
Description
OUR COMMUNITY
We take pride in hiring individuals with personal experience in foster care. In addition to bringing unique expertise, they serve as powerful role models to the youth we support. Besides employing former foster youth on staff, we involve them in our internship program, co-mentoring community, and our Board of Directors.
