A new beginning: Youth Villages partners with Titans for luncheon with those aging out of foster system
Recently, five young adults who aged out of foster care at 18 got on a stage at Nissan Stadium to share their experience transitioning to adulthood without a family support system.
Instead of the hardship experienced, they each opened the discussion with that which they are most proud, some being the first in their family to attend college, another a new father.
They also shared their unique barriers to success ranging from homelessness to college application confusion and, thanks to the support of Youth Villages’ LifeSet program, they all expressed confidence in having the resources and emotional support needed to succeed.
