“I developed an idea to establish an impactful platform with an important mission,” The Center Square reported, “to provide individuals from the foster care community the ability to secure an entry level job position and in turn, financial independence.”

“Each year, more than 15,000 young people age out of the foster care system and unfortunately, too many struggle to become self-sufficient,” said President Donald Trump. “The order I will sign in a few moments will provide vital new resources to help young people transition out of the foster care system and live a very happy and a very successful life.”
