Alumnae Mentoring

In 2020, Resilience Rising launched its alumnae mentoring program for youth exiting the residential program. Research shows that having one trusted adult improves the outcomes for youth in and aging out of the foster care system. Resilience Rising's mentoring program aims to maintain established rapport between youth and trusted adults, enhance youth capacity for independent living skills, and ultimately reduce statistical outcomes of aging out, namely school drop out rates and recidivism of homelessness and incarceration.

Homelessness 

​20% of children instantly become homeless when they age out of the foster care system at age 18.

​

Dropout Rates​

An estimated 30-50% of children in the foster care system age out without completing high school. Less than 3% go on to graduate from college.

​​

Incarceration​

Within 2 years of leaving the foster care system, 25% of youth will have involvement with the criminal justice system.
