I was motivated to start tutoring with the Family Care Network by the startling and frightening statistics that, on average, 85% of foster youth in San Luis Obispo County consistently score below grade level
To provide affordable housing to high-needs youth ages 16 to 24 that were formerly or are currently in the foster care system
To provide services designed to develop life skills that teach youth how to live successfully on their own
To assist youth in developing a community-based support system in preparation for emancipation
