Only about 3 percent of foster youth graduate from college. Fostering Success Michigan created a map that indicates that over half of colleges and/or states are not providing enough support for teens in foster care. The organization says schools are not providing assistance and access to higher education. Although, the report shows that California is one of the top two states regarding four-year institutions with established programs to assist foster youth.

If you are interested in opening your home to a child or teenager, please contact Triad Family Services.
