Awareness, support needed for local foster youth
Currently there are more than 4,000 youth in foster care within Sacramento County. Of these youth, Elk Grove and the Elk Grove Unified School District have more students in foster care than any other in Sacramento County.
State research indicates that less than 50 percent of these youth graduate from high school and of those less than five percent ever graduate from college. Due to Elk Grove’s high population of foster youth we have a unique ability to reach out and connect with these youth in need.
