"We need to offer something for these young people other than, 'Here's Option A: Fall off the cliff,' " she says. Zambito says things have come a long way since 10 years ago, when some foster kids here turned 18, put their belongings in a plastic bag and were taken to the nearest homeless shelter because they had nowhere else to go. "We go from 'you're in foster care, where you may handle $10 a month' to 'you're responsible for everything.' " "We have an abrupt cutoff, like most states," says Diane Zambito, who runs Connected by 25, a Tampa nonprofit that is trying to smooth the transition for former foster care youth. Uneducated - Only 6 percent had a 2- or 4-year degree. Pregnant - More than 75 percent of young women had been pregnant since leaving foster care.Ĭonvicted of a crime - Nearly 60 percent of young men had been convicted of a crime, and more than 80 percent had been arrested.

He helped Mendoza find his apartment, sign the lease and move in. Nick Reschke is Mendoza's transition specialist, a kind of big brother/parent provided to foster youth in the Tampa area. "With the burgers, it kind of got burnt."īut unlike many foster care teens, Mendoza has been getting some help. "Yesterday, I was trying to cook, but I don't think it turned out too good," Mendoza says. The bottom is covered with congealed fat. He looks at a frying pan on top of his new stove. His only cooking experience in foster care was heating soup in the microwave. It's kind of lonely and a challenge, he says.
