Nonprofit 'Just in Time for Foster Youth' is no stranger to serving youth who aged out of the foster care system. ABC10 News Reporter Moses Small learns the group's newest mental health initiative.
SAN DIEGO — San Diego nonprofit Just in Time for Foster Youth is reaching out to vulnerable young adults who recently aged out of the foster care system. The initiative was started following a new report that found half of all homeless people are former foster children.Harmer moved from Utah to San Diego before she aged out of the foster care system at 18.
Harmer was accepted to the University of California San Diego that year. JIT paid for Harmer's school supplies and paired her with a mentor. That peace of mind helped her graduate and get a full-time job at the nonprofit. Unfortunately, data shows success stories like Harmer's are rare.
