As a parent, what would you say to your 18 year old graduating high school?
- Congratulations!
- Enjoy your college experience…
- The next few years of your life are your defining years….
These and many more sentiments might be true for you and your young adult, but what about the many young adults “aging out” of Connecticut’s foster care system with no parent figure, no family, no plans for college and no idea about their “defining years”?
