WOW: 10 Words of Wisdom
Even though the average age of foster youth is 10 years, an estimated 20,000 young people “age out" of the U.S. foster care system each year.*
We’ve had the privilege of meeting many middle and high school foster youth in group homes and other places and events. Our ABC’s of Character books and music have been well received with all age groups, but they are geared more for elementary age. Foster teens tell us that they’ve had no one talk to them about having good character. So, now, we’re in the process of creating a brand new book especially for middle and high school foster youth--WOW: 10 Words of Wisdom. Please pray about how you can help with this great need.
Need $6,000 to order books.
Learn more about “aging out” of foster care in our article "Aging Out": Life After Foster Care
