Many youth have the support and love of a family to rely on every day. However, not all youth do, especially youth who are in or aging out of foster care. These youth, who are considered fully independent at the age of 18, often are not prepared to enter the world alone, with little to no physical or emotional assistance. We know there are steps that can be taken to improve the lives of those who are or are near aging out of foster care, and it is with that heart The C4 Group is leading Caring 4 Foster Youth and actively advocating on these youth's behalf amongst the four solution providers.
Caring 4 Foster Youth is a national initiative that is promoting four approaches to positively impact youth who have or are near aging out of foster care. Two of the approaches, It’s Your Day Milestone Recognition and A Home for the Holidays, seek to build relational bonds between caring individuals and foster youth that will emotionally support the youth for years to come. The other two approaches, My Chance Internship Experience and My Turn Independent Living, seek to give foster youth practical life and career skills that assist in developing them into successful and engaged citizens.
If you are interested in implementing one of these best-practice models in your community through a church, civic group, or organization, please contact us.
