Back to School with You Gotta Believe
Organized by You Gotta Believe - Adopting Older Kids and Youth
About This Fundraiser
Together, we can create a brighter future for YGB youth as they head back to school. Our team has been working tirelessly to settle youth with loving families before the school year begins. With 34% of foster youth facing school changes during the year, providing stability is crucial.
Foster youth connected to a permanent family are:
23% more likely to graduate and 50% More Likely to Attend Secondary Education
