Helping College-Bound Teens Aging out of Foster Care

This August, many New Jersey teens will prepare to leave home for college. This is often a challenging transition, but for those leaving foster care and lacking a  traditional family support system, this transition can be even more daunting.

Your support is needed now more than ever because of the generosity of the Redlich Horwitz Foundation, the first $20,000 raised by the agency will be matched by a challenge grant of $20,000.
