FosterLink is a program offered by The Blue Ribbon Project. FosterLink is a resource website developed by Foster Youth, former Foster Youth, and various professionals. FosterLink is intended to be an on-line community as well as a resource to find additional information on a variety of topics.
In 2014, 22,392 youth "age-out" from the foster care system when they reach age 18 or age 21 (depending on the state in which they reside). Unfortunately, youth in foster care often do not get the help they need with high school completion, employment, accessing health care, continued educational opportunities, housing and transitional living arrangements. Studies of youth who have left foster care have shown they are more likely than those in the general population to not finish high school, be unemployed, and be dependent on public assistance.
Youth who age out of foster care are less likely than youth in the general population to graduate from high school and are less likely to attend or graduate college. By age 26, approximately 80 percent of young people who aged out of foster care earned at least a high school degree or GED compared to 94 percent in the general population.
In 2014, more than 22,000 young people — whom states failed to reunite with their families or place in permanent homes — aged out of foster care, simply because they were too old to remain.
