Through the use of technology and partnerships, Kids@Home will serve more
children, young people, and families and serve them better than has
previously been realized, thus strengthening the child welfare community
in the 21st Century.
Over half a million kids live in foster care in this country and most are
shown the door when they reach age 18 they are truly All Grown Up and
Nowhere to Go. These young people, through no fault of their own, face great
challenges in life: first through abuse and neglect, and then by a system
that no longer cares for them.
Kids@Home assists youth aging out of the foster care system by helping them:
secure housing, continue their education and develop job skills and life
skills. With your help we can prevent the worst outcomes for them, which are
homelessness, incarceration or drug dependency.
Kids@Home is a non-profit organization led by dedicated, talented
professionals who use evolving business principles, best care practices, and
today's technology to tackle the complex problems facing our youth. After
all, preparing kids for life on their own isn't easy - to do it successfully
an organization must perform at a high level.
Stay tuned for exciting news that will catapult Kids@Home to a new level of strength and capacity in South Florida.
