How We're Helping

Change 1 helps Foster Youth ages 15-26 realize their full potential. By bridging the gaps in the support they receive entering adulthood, we empower their dreams of making meaningful contributions to their communities and having strong families of their own.

     

 Every time a foster child moves homes, they fall 6 months behind academically, with 50% never graduating high school. We never give up on children. And we don’t let children give up on themselves. 

By advocating for them, we strengthen our families, and communities. 


Foster youths face overwhelming challenges

Change1 supports youth transitioning out of foster care, as well as those working with them and the community.  


Every year, 250,000 children enter the Foster Care  system due to abuse and neglect.  20,000 teens are “emancipated” at age 18. Nearly 40% experience homelessness within 18 months. 70% of foster youth want to attend college.  Only 3% receive a degree. 


Our hope is when we change one’s mind,  we change one’s life.  



We believe it takes a community to raise a child to thrive.

Change 1 is building their hopes and dreams.

Dedicated to improving the lives of children and families who experience the Child Welfare system and other Health & Human Services systems.
