Aging Out of Foster Care

More than 400,000 children throughout the United States are currently enrolled within the foster care system. In addition to the trauma that all of these children must deal with while going through the system, many of these minors are young teens who will soon age out of the child welfare system and will lack the life skills and resources to be self-sufficient. We at Court Appointed Special Advocates of Morris and Sussex Counties are working with the Roots & Wings Foundation to show you the scope of how foster care affects the children who go through it.

Please visit the Roots & Wings Foundation of NJ website in order to learn more about how you can help at-risk teens who age out of foster care.
