Child Link

Graduation is always worth celebrating, but for youth in foster care, this milestone can mean even more. 🎓💙

Today, we are proud to celebrate Tywrell, a Child Link youth who has been in care for just over two years and is graduating high school this year. This fall, Tywrell will continue his education at Northern Illinois University, and we could not be more excited for what is ahead.

In Illinois, youth in foster care continue to face major barriers to educational success. Only about 50% of children in traditional foster care graduate from high school, making every graduation a powerful achievement worth recognizing.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, Child Link was able to help cover Tywrell’s graduation expenses this year, making sure he could walk into this milestone feeling celebrated, supported, and seen.

This graduation season, you can help more youth in foster care reach important milestones like this one. Head to our donation page to learn how you can support graduation moments like Tywrell's. https://onecau.se/_au4h21
