Each year, tens of thousands of young adults transition out of the U.S. foster care system with limited support as they enter adulthood. A nonprofit organization is working to bridge that gap by helping former foster youth secure stable career pathways. The initiative focuses on providing mentorship and job placement assistance to those who often face significant barriers in the workforce. For many, these connections could make the difference between financial independence and continued instability.
About 23,000 young people age out of the U.S. foster care system each year. Petra Cares aims to connect those young adults with career opportunities.
