Unemployment is one of the leading factors of homelessness among former foster youth. Studies have shown that nationwide about 25 to 50% of foster youth aging out of the foster care system ended up in homelessness.

If you are an employer (public or private), you can make a world of difference in the lives of our youth by providing them with:

• Their first opportunity to enter the labor market
• Internships and job shadowing opportunities
• Opportunities to be cultivated into leaders in business, technology, trades, and communities.
