  • WHAT DOES SUPPORT LOOK LIKE?

Financial

Relationships

Community

Did you know that 92% of parents in BC help out with things like tuition, rent, and groceries?

It gives young people the chance to focus on education, training, and a solid career. Not how to put food on the table or where to sleep.

Financial support to help with living costs would be like an allowance to help out with the same kind of ‘starting out’ expenses all young people face.

Let’s make sure youth aging out of foster care have the financial support they need to succeed.

Is there someone you can always reach out to for advice, or if you get in a jam?

Relationships with caring dependable adults give young people a place to turn to for advice, housing and job references, etc.

Adult champions will provide the kind of support and relationships that most young people can take for granted.

Let’s make sure youth aging out of foster care have the relationships and advice they need to succeed.

Do you know your neighbours and have the opportunity to participate in community life?

Building strong connections with other people in their community gives youth a sense of belonging.

Providing opportunities to participate fully in community life through creative, cultural, and volunteer activities will create the space for young people contribute.

Let’s make sure youth aging out of foster care have the sense of belonging they need to succeed.
