Helen's Hope Chest

Arizona's Foster Youth Deserve Better.

Right now, the well-being of young adults aging-out of foster care in Arizona is left to chance. 900 youth age-out of foster care each year in this state and they experience:

1. 42% high school drop-out graduate rate and 3% college graduation rate.
2. 50% homelessness at age 18.
3. 50% unemployment rate at age 24.

Your support will provide stable housing and support services.

When you support our A Community Thrives Challenge, your contributions will make a difference in someone's life. Through the Foster360 program, Helen’s Hope Chest will house, mentor, and graduate approximately 10 aging-out foster youth aged 18-24 over a 1-year period. In December, the first 5 young renters will move into the building and embark on the path to economic mobility and personal success. 5 more youth will move in 6-9 months after the start of the program.

Each youth will complete a course of personal development activities that will enable them to transition into independent living as productive and self-sufficient adults. Don't leave the success of our community's future to chance. Take action today and donate what you can.
