ISF-Texas
INVESTING IN THE SUCCESS OF FOSTER YOUTH IN TEXAS
The Challenge
Each year over 1,000 youth emancipate from the foster care system in Texas. They are more likely to be unemployed or incarcerated than enroll in college or trade school. In fact, less than 3% of foster youth in America achieve a college degree.
ISF-Texas is the solution.
Building on 15 years of investing in the success of foster youth all across America, Dallas-based ISF has launched a new era of regional chapter initiatives, beginning with ISF-TEXAS.
ISF’s proven strategy of blending financial support with mentoring and leadership development has empowered 174 youth impacted by foster care to pursue their dream of a college or vocational school degree.
Over 85% of ISF students successfully complete their college or trade school programs.
The ISF TEXAS initiative will enable ISF to reach more foster youth in Texas, who will be able to access ISF’s Student Success Fund, be matched with local-based mentors, and attend local leadership retreats and experiences.
