Navigating Life After Foster Care

What does it mean to "Age Out" of Foster Care? Each year, about 24,000 teenagers in the United States transition out of foster care as they turn 18, stepping into adulthood often without the traditional support systems most young adults rely on. Many are still completing their education and are suddenly faced with finding employment, securing housing, and arranging transportation independently.
