Foster Youth

Foster youth are children and adolescents who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or other family issues, and are placed in temporary care settings, such as foster homes or group homes. This system aims to provide a safe environment while working toward reunification with their biological families or finding permanent placements through adoption. Foster youth often face unique challenges, including instability, emotional trauma, and difficulties in education, which can impact their development and future opportunities. Support services are essential to help them navigate these challenges and promote their well-being.
