Mission:
Foster Success’ mission is to hear, support, and empower teens and young adults transitioning out of foster care on their journey to self-sufficiency.
Serving Our Community:
Foster Success is the only nonprofit in Indiana that hears, supports and empowers the more than 24,000 teens and young adults who are aging out of the foster care system, most often with no family or economic support.
We empower those with foster care experience to make changes that will impact their lives, the lives of their peers and their communities for the better.. Our people and our programs ensure that each young person has the resources to create their own journey to self sufficiency, whatever that may look like. We work to do this through programs, resources and advocacy work in the areas of:
- Educational Success
- Financial Empowerment
- Health and Well-Being
- Workforce Readiness
- Youth Engagement
- Policy and Practice
