When New Jersey teens age out of the child welfare and foster care system, they often lose access to food, housing, and transportation, as well as academic and professional connections. A Rutgers program supported by donors, including a recent $100,000 gift from two alumni, helps undergraduates who have experienced the child welfare system or homelessness.
