Helping kids in care get back on track at school

In this episode co-founders Joe and Tom Bennett chat about their charity ‘Foster the Future’ which aims to connect high school youth in out-of-home care with university student tutors. They founded Foster the Future in 2019 after seeing how mentoring and support can drastically improve the lives of young people in out-of-home care.

This episode was recorded for the Adopt Change National Permanency Conference 2022.
