May is Foster Care Awareness Month.

The statistics surrounding former foster youth are hard to ignore:

• By age 21, 50% are unemployed or underemployed

• Only 4% will earn a college degree

• Just 1% will complete graduate school

• 1 in 4 will face homelessness or involvement with the justice system after aging out of care

Happy April!

‍

‍As they say, April showers bring MA(n)Y opportunities.

Can you believe it’s already March?

‍For RTS Scholars and Alumni balancing midterms, demanding work schedules, and big goals for the future, there’s also something exciting arriving in their inboxes: graduate school acceptance letters.

Love and opportunities are in the air!

‍At Ready to Succeed, we often say: Opportunity Changes Everything.

‍

Welcome to 2026 and an exciting milestone for Ready to Succeed! This month, RTS is turning 10 years old. Can you believe it?!

Welcome to spooky season!

It’s a time for frights and scares—but also for fresh beginnings: new dorms, new friends, and most importantly new opportunities.
