Working primarily with youth and young adults currently in or transitioning from the foster care, juvenile justice, and mental health systems, The Foundling’s LifeSet program gives young adults the support and guidance they need to make a successful transition to adulthood.

LifeSet is a promising evidence-based model implemented nationwide to support young people in making a successful transition to adulthood. This is especially critical for the 20,000 youth who age out of the foster care system every year, where many of them go on to struggle with homelessness and unemployment. Since this evidence-based model was launched in 1999, LifeSet has helped more than 13,000 young people in the United States aging out of state custody or other care arrangements successfully transition to independence. The Foundling partnered with New Yorkers for Children to launch our LifeSet program in 2018.

Success Stories

Providing community support during the pandemic

Our Staten Island Community Partnership and Healthy Families programs have come together to help keep our neighbors in the North Shore section of Staten Island healthy and safe throughout the pandemic. One of their largest initiatives is a weekly grocery giveaway program that has provided 100 families with essential items, including fruits, vegetables, protein-rich foods, toiletries, and more. Thanks to collaboration with community institutions and businesses – from churches to laundromats – our impassioned team engages with local residents and families to ensure that all of our neighbors have access to the resources they need.
