Every 2 minutes, a young person enters foster care.
Every year, 20,000 youth age out of the foster care system.

For many, turning 18 doesn’t mean stability. It means stepping into adulthood without the support most of us rely on.

That’s why extended foster care matters.

At GetREAL, we walk alongside young adults as they build life beyond foster care through safe housing, life coaching, transportation, education support, life skills, and community.

Because no one should have to figure it all out alone. 💙

It’s been a busy and exciting season at GetREAL!

From prom and graduation to life skills classes, social outings, and the everyday moments in between, these experiences are a meaningful part of our members’ growth and journey toward independence.

We’re grateful for every moment and everyone who helps make them possible.🌻

Because of your support, young people aging out of foster care are finding stability, encouragement, and people who continue showing up for them.

Growth doesn’t happen all at once, and everyone’s goals look different.

At GetREAL, we create individualized plans with each of our members as they prepare to age out of foster care and step into independent adulthood.

We’re proud to support these young adults as they build what comes next.💛

For GetREAL, Foster Care Awareness Month is about reminding young people aging out of foster care that their story doesn’t end at 18.

Every young person deserves support, stability, and people who continue showing up for them as they step into adulthood.

This month, and every month, we are proud to walk alongside them.

May is National Foster Care Awareness Month 💙

Every young adult deserves support, stability, and someone in their corner. Especially while transitioning out of foster care and into adulthood.

At GetREAL, we work to make sure our members don’t have to navigate that journey alone.

Last year, one of our members shared that they had never been to prom because they moved around so much growing up. So... we decided to create one of our own!!

This year was our 2nd Annual GetREAL Prom, and it was truly a night (and day!) to remember.

We started the day with glam time for the girls at Roots Hair Salon with Caroline and Juli, then headed to Take It Up a Knotch in Van Buren for a beautiful evening together. Miss Andrea poured so much time and heart into making the space feel special and making sure we had everything we needed.

A huge thank you as well to Chick-fil-A Van Buren, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Grace Community Church for supporting this event. And to First United Methodist Church for graciously opening their Prom Closet so each of our girls could find the perfect dress.

These moments may seem ordinary to some, but for young adults in foster care, they can mean everything. We’re grateful to help create memories, celebrate milestones, and remind our members that they deserve joyful, normal moments too.

Within every room at GetREAL is a young person dreaming bigger than their current circumstances. For youth aging out of foster care, those dreams often come with obstacles many never see.

This board says so much without saying much at all.

We’re proud to walk alongside them as they do the hard work, one step at a time.
