WHY MENTOR FOSTER YOUTH?
Thousands age out of foster care without a permanent home or family support.
Many of these young adults become homeless, pregnant, or incarcerated.
For this often-forgotten group, having a mentor can make the difference between statistic or success!
Former Foster Youth Statistics:
Statistics from Various National & State Studies
High School
High school dropout rates are 3 times higher for foster youth than other low-income children
College
Only 3% of foster youth will graduate college. The national average is 35% for a 4-year degree.
