Every year 23,000 foster youth age out of the system without stable support in place, leading to long-term issues like housing instability and unemployment. We believe our youth deserve better and a chance to be successful!
We’ve partnered with Southwestern Student Coaching to serve as a crucial resource, providing personalized guidance and skill-building to empower foster youth as they develop essential life skills, take on adulthood confidently, and cultivate resiliency as they navigate the complexities of aging out of foster care.
The goal of THE FULL POTENTIAL PROJECT is to help foster youth in the U.S. as they face immense challenges transitioning to adulthood without stable support systems.
Recognizing the gap in mental and emotional maturity due to early-life trauma, the foundation aims to break the cycle of instability that affects these youth. Through this partnership, foster youth are provided with individual coaches who help develop soft skills, emotional intelligence, and focus – elements often overlooked in traditional educational and support programs.
