S1E12: When Foster Kids Age Out - a podcast by Laura Zielke: Nonprofit Leadership Advocate

Most of us are aware of foster care and the need for foster parents, but how often do we consider what happens to foster kids when they age out? When they no longer have a place to call home? And what about other young adults who find themselves homeless due to lack of family support?

In this episode, you’ll meet Adrean Stinnett, the Founder of J127 Ministry in Durant, Oklahoma. We’ll learn how this one woman mobilized a community–where nobody knew her–to support young women ages 18-23 who have aged out of the foster care system by providing them with a place they can call home, with long-term mentors to teach life skills, and with job opportunities at local businesses so they gain work experience and eventually thrive out on their own.

In this episode you'll learn how one woman took her vision for a transitional home for aged-out foster kids from concept to reality in less than three years, debt-free!
