For foster youth, the leap from college to a career is steep—only 4% graduate, and even fewer land the kind of career-track jobs that build stability. Talent isn’t the problem. Access is. Most don’t have the networks, connections, or safety nets that help other young people get ahead.

RTS fills that gap. For foster youth, we turn college into a launchpad for economic mobility.

Our four-year Career Accelerator starts sophomore year and continues through the first year after graduation—the make-or-break period for career success. We provide coaching, scholarships, mentors, internships, and access to a powerful professional network.

We give Scholars what most young people inherit from family: guidance, opportunity, and connections to adults who can support them professionally and personally.

‍Since our founding in 2016, we’ve served nearly 1,400 Scholars and alumni. These are determined, inspiring young people who have overcome significant barriers—and who, with the right support, are transforming their futures.
