Sharing resources for those aging out of the U.S. foster care system.
About
May 31 is National Aging Out of Foster Care Awareness Day.
This registered awareness day was created to serve those who have aged out of foster care, or will do so soon.
This page exists to help ease fears and shine light into what may feel to be a dark time.
Leaving foster care may feel hopeless and create anxiety about what the future holds for young adults. Resources here include programs available for youth preparing to age out, reminders of what is available to them by the government and more.
Anyone can help.
There is always a need for volunteers, donations and other services for youth aging out of the foster care system. Find out how you can help in your state.
