Each year, tens of thousands of young people exit the U.S. foster care system without the support or resources to transition into stable adulthood. A nonprofit organization is working to bridge that gap by helping former foster youth secure meaningful career opportunities. The initiative focuses on providing guidance and connections to employers for those navigating independence. For many, these programs could make the difference between stability and uncertainty after leaving care.
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.
