Did you know that foster youth face the following challenges?
|
They are more than twice as likely to drop out of high school.
|
|
They are significantly underrepresented in post-secondary education programs.
|
|
35-40% of foster youth are in special education programs.
|
|
Completing high school - and beyond - is essential for self-sufficiency and independent living.
|

“When my GAL/CASA came along, I was in a lock-down facility for teens. I was 15 years old and I’d already been there for two years. I was getting ready to give up. But she came along and she was it. She was everything that just changed my entire focus and made see that it was possible.” Michelle Ann Holbrooke (9/04 Wake County GAL Newsletter)
