A Promise Kept.
Why we refuse to let foster youth face the "cliff" alone.
Twenty years ago, Jenny Davidson made a vow to make the world a better place for children who get to stay.
After losing her son, Jordan, Jenny realized that while she couldn't change the past, she could change the future for young adults aging out of foster care. She saw the statistics...the 25% homelessness rate and the 4% college graduation rate...and knew that "good enough" systems were failing our neighbors.
AcademySTAY is the realization of that promise. We don't just provide beds. We provide the foundation for a life well-lived, designed alongside the very youth we serve.
