THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 2,000 CHILDREN AND YOUTH EXPERIENCING FOSTER CARE HERE IN KERN COUNTY.
We are building communities of people that are changing the way children, youth, and families experience foster care. Passionate donors, volunteers, mentors, partners, and advocates are all ripples in the sea of change for our foster care community.​

1 out of 5 foster youth become homeless at age 18

50% of foster homes close within the first year

140 youth between the ages of 18-21 age out of foster
care annually in Kern County, with limited resources or family ties​

​60% of youth formerly in care fall below the poverty line, despite earning an income

​But we believe it doesn't have to be this way.
