For youth in foster care, only 50% graduate from high school—and only 3% graduate from college.

That’s why graduating high school or college is such an important milestone for kids in foster care.

Ticket to Dream Foundation, a non-profit that helps foster kids across the country, just launched their 6th annual Cards for Grads campaign to celebrate and acknowledge the success of this year’s foster grads, rooting them on for their next steps into adulthood.

Mauri Knowles, program director at Ticket to Dream, explains that the foundation’s Cards For Grads campaign supports foster grads across the country each spring. The goal this year is to celebrate 6,000 high school and college graduates.
