This is a great program too bad it couldn't be started in very state.

This is not only a blessing for the kids who age out but also for the persons who take the time to care.

My hat is off to you for making a big difference in the lives of these young adults.

What an incredible program. Despite being taught to work hard and to be self-reliant, my own children would flounder if shoved out at age 18. Well done!

My hat goes off to the Darts. All of us need the wisdom of older adults to charter unfamiliar territory, and foster children and no different. The program the Darts initiated will help youth who have been in the foster care system to more successfully transition to adulthood and not repeat the mistakes of their parents, who for the most part are the reason these youth were placed in foster care.
