We are a comprehensive, top-tier program that supports former foster youth at California State University San Marcos. Our mission is to transform the lives of foster youth through higher education — and we're doing exactly that.
Thanks to our professional staff and donor support, we're able to support an 86% persistence rate — far greater than the national average of 50%
