Youth aging out of foster care face many unique challenges that youth in more traditional or stable environments don’t, making it more difficult for them to receive academic support, continue their education and build a successful future. According to data gathered by KVC, only 55% of youth aging out of foster care graduated in 2020, with only 3% going on to earn a postsecondary degree. Education plays a critical role in helping these young individuals break the cycle and build a better future for themselves, which is why KVC Nebraska offers a wide range of resources aimed at assisting youth with their education, from our Fostering Educational Success (FES) program to the many therapy and foster care support services we provide. Explore how Fostering Educational Success is changing lives, and why this program sets students up to experience success post-foster care.

KVC is committed to supporting the families we serve by providing education and treatment to end the cycle of generational trauma.

Youth who have experienced foster care face greater academic challenges compared to their peers who have not. KVC’s Fostering Educational Success program helps these youth and their families achieve school success.
