"It only takes one loving, present adult to have an impact on a teen's life. Teens need mentorship, guidance, nurturing, and someone to walk beside them as they navigate life, figuring out who they are and who they want to be. With the right supports, foster care can be a launching pad for teens. You can play a role in helping make the rest of their life the best of their life. You also have the unique opportunity to be an ongoing source of support—a place they can return to during college breaks, to celebrate holidays, and rely on long after foster care ends."
