This year roughly 22,000 young adults will age out of the foster care system at 18. Of those kids:
• 20% will experience homelessness;
• 25% will be incarcerated within 2 years of aging out of foster care;
• 50% of the young women in foster care will become pregnant before the age of 19.
We want to give these youths a fighting chance at a real future. This is why we do what we do. Learn more at http://blavinscholars.org/
