EDUCATION IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER
we are purpose-driven servants working to provide every youth in foster care access to a college education
Only 3% of youth from foster care graduate college:
Homelessness
50% of former foster youth are homeless within two years of leaving the system
Incarceration
78% of the current death row population spent time in the foster care system
Placements
Foster youth experience an average of 12 placements in just four years of high school
At a crossroads of graduation or incarceration, the nsoro Foundation steps in to change the course.
