What happens to youth after they “age out” of foster care?
When a child in foster care turns eighteen, they emancipate or “age out” of the foster care system. This means that they are no longer a dependent of the State and are responsible for their own well-being. Former foster youth face the challenges of finding housing, work and enrolling in school – alone.
