Mission Statement

Assisting youth to transition from foster care to sustainable and connected independence

Description

Every year in the US, nearly 25,000 kids age out of foster care. In Alabama, that number is close to 500.

Second Shift assists youth who age out to transition from foster care to sustainable and connected independence.

We do this by combining basic care with connection to provide the support and services they need.

When we do this, we help prevent homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, human and sex trafficking, and the repeated generational cycle of foster care.

This changes their trajectory which changes their life, their family, their community... and the world.
