Life is better when shared.
Join me and help create lasting change with Junket.
Junket is a for-life mentoring community supporting young adults and their families after foster care in New York City.
Junket helps its young adult members build stable, future-oriented lives by offering connection and proactive support in areas such as career guidance, real-world readiness, smart money skills, family support and, most importantly, a community where they will always be welcome. Practically, this includes:
- Providing ongoing mentorship and a support network
- Connecting members with computers for GED and professional training
- Navigating the housing and health care systems in NYC
- Helping file taxes and providing financial literacy training
- Planning community events for connection and volunteer opportunities
It's more than a program; it’s a lifelong investment in belonging, growth and lasting impactful change for generations to come.
Did you know that:
- Between 18% to 26% of young adults who have aged out of foster care will end up in homeless shelters - Albany Report (2019)
- 50% of foster youth are unemployed by the age of 24 - Improving Outcomes (2023)
Your donation helps support these incredible individuals to beat these odds and thrive in their post-foster care, independent lives.
