Foster youth face enormous challenges in making a smooth transition to adulthood and building successful lives. Unlike most young people who grow up in the United States who have resources to help them move successfully into adulthood these young people often leave the foster care system with few resources and very little support. They enter adulthood with little hope or preparation for a successful future. They lack the knowledge, skills, and experience that will enable them to be productive members of their community.
Foster youth have to cope with the trauma of separation from families unable or unwilling to provide proper care. Often they have suffered physically and emotionally from the lack of a stable and supportive family. As a result it is common for these youth to face homelessness, limited education, unemployment, incarceration, substance abuse and unwanted pregnancy.
