This Giving Tuesday we are dedicated to equipping youth in foster care with the tools for academic success. Youth in foster care experience disruptions in education due to trauma histories, placement changes, and behavioral difficulties that schools are not equipped to address. The result is suspension and/or referral to an alternative school, which amplifies the problem as it focuses on multiple students with behavioral difficulties in one class setting and does not adhere to each learning style. Therefore, these youth continue to fall further behind in academics, and their educational needs are not met. The high school graduation rate for youth in foster care is only 50% but with your help, we have a solution!
On Giving Tuesday you can help us provide individualized instruction in a low-stress environment for youth in foster care to have a greater chance of successfully mastering their educational curriculum.
