National Angels chapters are building communities of people all across the country that are literally changing the way children, youth, and families experience foster care. Passionate donors, volunteers, mentors, partners, and advocates across the nation are all ripples in the sea of change for our foster care community.

National Angels has 19 active chapters in 14 states, with even more waiting to get started.

1 out of 5 foster youth become homeless at age 18

50% of foster homes close within the first year

20,000 youth between the ages of 18-21 age out of the foster care system annually

60% of youth formerly in care fall below the poverty line, despite earning an income

But we believe it doesn't have to be this way.
