Improving the Educational Outcomes of Children in Foster Care

In 2021, there were over 390,000 children in the United States (U.S.) were reported to be in foster care

  • Approximately two-thirds of these are school-aged

  • 20,00 youth age out between the ages of 18-21 annually

    • 25% will not have graduated from high school

    • 20-25% will experience homelessness

    • 20% will be incarcerated

    • 23% will be parents by the age of 21

    • Only 57% will be employed either full- or part-time by the age of 21

    • Only 3-12% will earn a college degree (associates or bachelors)

But these don't have to be the outcomes for the children in your care!
