Bridge Supports Youth who have
Aged-Out of Foster Care
Nearly half of the 2,400 youth that Bridge serves annually were once in foster care or will soon be aging out. This "aged-out" population is at high risk for unemployment, school failure and criminal behavior. Young adults who have "aged out" of the foster care system are especially vulnerable to homelessness. A major report released last April tells us that 40% of former foster children will find themselves homeless – most within a year of leaving foster care. Bridge specializes in responding to the needs of youth who are homeless or at risk for becoming homeless. Whether it is through our educational/vocational programs, transitional living programs or survival services, Bridge helps youth who have aged-out of foster care to build skills and transition safely into independence.
