These kids haven't found permanency with an adoptive home and they have not been able to return to their birth families. Now what? Through our #STEP program we are working with foster families to help transition teens in foster care into adulthood.

Check out this ground breaking program Lutheran Family services has implemented to help teens that are "aging out" of foster care! For many teens in #fostercare turning 18 and/or graduating from high school means they are "aging out" of the system and on their own. (1)

“The pathway from foster care to higher education is a cliff, and most of us are just completely falling off the cliff,” Black said, her voice rising, as she explained her view that the state is failing foster youth. #askmeaboutmylittleblackdress https://t.co/yBSP23iFMh

Want to get involved? Here's how! JLCS and LBDI are here to make it super easy for you to educate others. Follow along this week and share our posts to help spread awareness!

[Junior League of CS @JrLeagueofCS]

We urge you to utilize self-care when needed, but stay aware and present. Kids in foster care come from hard pasts, but with your help, they can have a bright future!
