From Foster to __________

From Foster to ____________ is an organization inspired by Dr. Keating's book, "From Foster to PhD." Dr. Keating hopes that the organization can partner with the foster youth to help them achieve their goals, if that is educationally or just personally.

This organization desires to provide hope to other foster care students by providing resources that can help change their lives. Within the United States, 50% of foster youth high school students graduate, and 3% of foster youth students will graduate with an associates or a bachelors degree. 61% of foster youth end up homeless. These numbers exist due to the lack of emotional, financial, and academic support. If we work together, we can support foster youth in the successful transition of getting on their feet either by continuing their education or increasing their workforce development skills.

Some of the barriers that foster youth face are homelessness, lack of financial support, and lack of emotional support. From Foster to _____ desires to partner with foster youth to help them in tangible ways like paying their rent, getting tires, providing scholarships and grants, and more.

From Foster to _____ will also help foster youth with starting their businesses, providing internship opportunities, and providing a community of cheerleaders and supporters to surround them.
