In Texas, more than 1,000 youth age out of foster care each year.

When youth age out of the foster care system between 18 to 23 years old, they are vulnerable to addiction, human trafficking and homelessness. With little support, former foster youth are left to navigate from adolescence to adulthood on their own.

For National Youth Aging Out Day, you can help by fostering or adopting a teen through Waiting Texas Children and providing mentorship for youth who may not have a positive person in their life.

To learn more, sign up for one of our virtual information meetings.

Buckner Perú held a Culinary Competition, celebrating creativity, taste, and teamwork. Each participant prepared their best recipe using MannaPack Rice as a base, showing how nutritious food can become delicious dishes filled with hope.

We also enjoyed traditional dance performances, adding color and joy to the celebration. Together, we are building hope in our communities. Learn more about our programs at Buckner Perú: https://na2.hubs.ly/H05QpRG0

We asked some of our families what inspired them to foster. Here are some of their responses. 👉

Many of our Buckner families followed God’s will for their life and changed the trajectory of children’s lives. Is God calling you to foster, perhaps support foster families in your life, or give resources that support foster children and foster youth aging out of care?

As part of Buckner NextStep (a supervised independent living program for foster youth aging out of care), LifeTrack allows us to keep up with residents’ progress and create healthy accountability. Each week in case management, residents meet with their case manager to talk through action items that will help them reach their goals in each lane.

Not only is LifeTrack individualized to each young adult; by choosing 2 primary lanes to focus on, it allows the larger goal of independence to feel attainable, just taking one step at a time.

Our 9 lanes are: education, employment, financial, relationships, wellness, healthcare, transportation, housing, and program participation.

Young women can be referred to our NextStep program or self-apply if currently living in Texas. Visit the link in our bio to learn more.

In this interview, you will hear the heart behind Buckner’s mission and how we work to keep kids safe.

We give as much support as we can to the foster parents because they are the ones that build kids back to normalcy. Together, we are working with foster parents to build an environment of healing for kids, preparing them for the future, and raising them up to be the next generation.

Head over to https://na2.hubs.ly/H05C-k40 to hear the rest of the interview. We promise you will leave inspired.

Warning: You will want to sign up as a foster parent.
