In this episode, we’re leaning into an important conversation about aged-out youth in foster care and the challenges they face when transitioning into adulthood. Without consistent support or resources, many young adults leaving foster care struggle to break free from generational cycles of dysfunction, often feeling isolated and unprepared for life on their own. 

At Hope Bridge, we’re committed to stepping into that gap. You’ll hear how we’re working to support this vulnerable community through: 

• Birthday Blessings – celebrating milestones with aged-out youth so they feel seen and valued. 
• Thanksgiving Together – joining ACTION Ohio at the Compassion Center for their annual holiday dinner, bringing community and belonging to foster care teens and alumni. 
• Elev8:28 – a new connection group launching this October for young adults who have aged out of foster care, offering community, encouragement, and hope. 

Looking ahead, we’re exploring ways to provide affordable housing, safe environments, and mentoring relationships for these young adults to help them thrive. 

Want to make a difference? You can get involved through prayer, volunteering, or financial contributions. Together, we can ensure no young adult has to navigate this journey alone.
