Meet Foster Nation founder and executive director, Maggie Lin (CA USA)

 In the United States, there are over 400, 000 innocent children and youth placed in the foster care system through no fault of their own.  Over 26,000 foster youth age out of the foster care system when they turn 18 or 21 years old every year. Foster youth are handed a trash bag, a list of homeless shelters, and sent into the world with little to no support. Foster Nation’s mission is to prepare, support and empower foster youth aging out of the system to become self-sufficient adults by providing financial resources, social support, and mentorship. Our goal is to help youth navigate the transition from foster care to college and/or career. We envision a world where all foster youth are supported and prepared for the real world when they age out of the system. https://www.fosternation.org/ #fostercare #foster #children #youth #ageout #selfsufficient #financialsupport #resources #socialsupport #mentorship #community #determined #standout #strategy #entrepreneurs #smallbusiness #businessstrategy #pandemic #innovators #MYBJT #podcast #thankyou Episode 197 - Listen here: https://www.mindingyourbusinesspod.com/ Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/c/mindingyourbusinesswithjoditatiana Follow Foster Nation https://www.instagram.com/thefosternation/ https://www.facebook.com/TheFosterNation/ https://twitter.com/thefosternation https://www.linkedin.com/company/foster-nation/ Learn about and Support Foster Nation https://www.grantthornton.com/PurplePaladins/foster-nation.aspx http://voyagela.com/interview/meet-maggie-lin-foster-nation-los-angeles/ https://www.today.com/video/woman-draws-on-her-experience-in-foster-care-to-help-others-140877893535 https://www.katesomerville.com/us/en/blog/foster-nation-press-release.html https://comfortcases.org/podcasts/fostering-change-podcast-episode-118-maggie-lin-kate-somerville/ https://sojoexchange.solutionsjournalism.org/home/where-a-free-meal-for-food-insecure-families-is-just-a-text-away https://www.grantthornton.com/insights/articles/manufacturing/2021/how-to-adapt-your-manufacturing-workforce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I97eW8Tqg5g https://fosteringvoices.com/episode-123-interview-with-kate-somerville-and-foster-nation/ https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/eyewitness-beauty/s1-ep55-kate-somerville-on-IWP20hJpncQ/ https://www.foxla.com/news/foster-care-nonprofit-lands-major-beauty-brand-donation https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210803005095/en/Kate-Somerville-Skincare-Announces-Partnership-with-Foster-Nation-Empowering-Foster-Youth-to-Defy-Impossible https://wwd.com/beauty-industry-news/beauty-features/kate-somerville-foster-nation-team-up-sholarship-fund-1234887719/ https://www.foxla.com/news/foster-nation-helps-feed-college-youth-in-need-of-meals-during-covid-19-crisis https://www.foxla.com/podcasts/olympic-bundy-foster-nation-keeping-kids-once-in-foster-care-connected-and-offering-opportunities-for-success https://mom.com/momlife/84970-kitchen-gotta-have-smores-annalisa-Johnson https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-jun-14-me-foster14-story.html
