Baltimore Volunteers Help Aged Out Youth
By Christopher McCabe, Baltimore Sun—Fostering Futures Howard County is working to help youth transition from foster care into adulthood. In partnership with Voices for Children and the Howard County Department of Social Services, Fostering Futures Howard County helps provide assistance to youth aging out of care. They offer many different services like helping people move, providing furniture, and assisting with college application.
Just last week a young person was helped into her new apartment. She had been in nine placements during her stay in foster care. Now with the help of eight local residents, she settled into a place of her own.
Fostering Futures Howard County hopes to call on the community to pitch in because all of their services are offered on a voluntary basis. They need the participation of members of the community to keep helping aging out youth become successful adults
