EDUCATION AND LITERACY GIFTS
In California, a child in the foster care system attends an average of 9 to 10 different schools by the age of 18. In addition to the instability inherent in constantly changing schools, many of these children are also struggling to overcome learning delays. As many as 75% of foster youth perform below grade level; 50% have been retained at least one year in school and more than 50% do not graduate from high school.
With your gift, you will support City Youth Now's education and literacy fund by providing a child in the San Francisco Juvenile Court System with academic assistance to ensure that they stay on track, meet grade level expectations, and have the opportunity to graduate from high school. Together we can ensure that foster youth have a chance at success!

Provide academic assistance to a youth in the system that is typically 2-4 years behind peers.
