Advocating for Transition Age Foster Youth: Framing for the Journey to Success Campaign

All young people need to be plugged into supportive networks as they become adults. This is especially true for transition age foster youth—young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are transitioning out of the foster care system. They need a comprehensive set of supports to promote their healthy development and lifelong wellbeing as adults. But today, programs that support transition age foster youth are often unable to provide what they need to prepare them to become healthy, happy, thriving adults in their communities.
