Youth Stories

The best success stories in foster care often come from the teens we work with. They have overcome difficulties to become successful young adults with bright futures in front of them.

Meet Jessica, whose determination earned her a full scholarship to Northwestern. Read her story here.

Meet Ann, who earned a $14,000 scholarship to attend school in New York. Read her story here.

Meet Anastasia, who found the support to go to college. Read her story here.

These are just a few of the incredible stories we have of teens who have left foster care with a solid foundation and ready to do great things in the world.

In addition, there are videos that were created by foster youth and film students from UW-Milwaukee highlighting how some foster youth have overcome challenges. We are very proud of the success our youth have had and want to make sure their success is possible for all youth in foster care.
