Sometimes it’s called aging out of foster care. At Fostering Advocates Arizona, we call it transitioning out because we know that leaving foster care is not just shutting one door and opening another. There are lots of important steps in between.
We know that because Fostering Advocates Arizona is guided by young adults who have experienced foster care. Download our brochure and feel free to spread the word about our mission. It’s our goal to make sure you – and all young adults – have the information, resources and support you need to transition to a new life. Fostering Advocates Arizona is for all foster care young adults who are:
- Thinking about life after they leave foster care
- Preparing to leave foster care
- Exploring programs and services in order to reach goals
- Re-grouping after exiting foster care
If you’re here, you’ve got questions. If you don’t find answers, contact us. We’re here to help!
Children’s Action Alliance (CAA) supports the work of Fostering Advocates Arizona. In addition to young adults who’ve experienced foster care, we partner with like-minded organizations and funders in order to support youth transitioning from foster care.
