A New Start for Young Men Aging Out of Foster Care
Every year, thousands of young men age out of the foster care system—often alone, unprepared, and unsupported. The statistics are sobering:
- 20% become homeless within their first year of aging out
- Fewer than 50% are gainfully employed by age 24
- Only 3% ever graduate from college
- Nearly 25% suffer from the direct effects of PTSD
At Raising Arizona’s Men, we refuse to let these numbers define their future. Our Launch Pad program is designed to provide a stable, faith-based foundation for young men transitioning to adulthood—equipping them not just to survive, but to thrive.
Because aging out shouldn’t mean being left out.
What We Provide:
- Safe, stable housing and consistent access to nutritious food
- A community of unconditional love, support, and accountability
- Basic financial literacy training to foster independence
- Help acquiring and securing vital documents, including a Social Security card, birth certificate, and driver’s license
- Job readiness support and the development of a strong work ethic
- Opportunities to grow in honor, integrity, and responsibility through Christian mentorship
- A safe space to heal, grow, and build a relationship with Christ
We believe these young men were never meant to walk this path alone. Through intentional support, life skills, and faith, Launch Pad offers them a renewed sense of identity, hope, and purpose.
