Aging Out of Foster Care: The Costs of Doing Nothing Affect Us All

"While we live in an era with no shortage of intractable problems, improving the odds for older youth in foster care is different because it's achievable, and most importantly, it's the right thing to do. Just like all kids, teenagers in foster care deserve continued support, access to positive education and work experiences, and the opportunity to make decisions about their own lives.

Through the Success Beyond 18 campaign, we're already starting to see results as states and communities come together to help kids in foster care build better futures - but we need your help. Raise your voice in support of our efforts. Help us build a drumbeat for action as we call upon states to extend foster care services and "do it right." To learn more, visit our website and follow us on Twitter and Facebook."
