Up to 75% of kids living in out-of-home care don’t finish high school*, and 1 in 3 will be homeless by 21**; FTF is working to change that.
What is Foster the Future?
Foster the Future is a youth-led charity that provides personalised one-on-one tutoring support for free to kids in care, with the aim of empowering them to envision and enact a better future than these statistics predict for them.
A recent survey of carers and caseworkers involved with Foster the Future showed that 85% of students enrolled in Foster the Future’s tutoring program are currently on track to finish high school, compared to just 25% of their peers. Education serves as an important pillar in improving outcomes for at-risk youth, and offers a world of new perspectives from which to build a better future. We aim to make it accessible for those that need it most.
How can my team get involved?
Foster the Future is seeking expressions of interest from businesses of all sizes to partner with us in supporting kids in care. We have a range of engagement opportunities available, tailored to the needs of your business, with the aim of raising funds and awareness to provide life-changing support and improved educational outcomes for youth in out-of-home care. Every dollar raised for Foster the Future contributes directly to the provision of free one-on-one tutoring to at-risk kids. The FTF tutoring program consists of weekly support sessions tailored to individual needs, wherein students get help with homework, work through the challenges of school and develop the confidence to reach their full potential. In doing so, Foster the Future equips children to seek knowledge, challenge themselves, and overcome barriers to opportunity, toward a better future.
Partnership arrangements may include:
Corporate teams for City2Surf and other fundraising events
Co-branded promotional opportunities
Donation-matching initiatives
Workplace fundraising events (‘3 in 4’ day)
Speaking engagements and team impact presentations with members of FTF management
