"I never thought about being on my own so early...so soon"
Statistics demonstrate poor outcomes for youth that have aged out of the foster care system.
One in four will be incarcerated within the first two years after they leave the system. Over one-fifth will become homeless at some time after age 18.3. Approximately 58 percent had a high school degree at age 19, compared to 87 percent of a national comparison group of non-foster youth. Of youth who aged out of foster care and are over the age of 25, less than 3 percent earned their college.
