They Did It! 40 Students in Rising Ground Family Foster Care Program Graduate
In what is being described as an "academic milestone," 40 students in Rising Ground's Family Foster Care Program have overcome challenged and have moved up or graduated this year. A special event was held at Brooklyn Borough Hall on June 28th where children and their foster families celebrated the achievement, which was made even sweeter because, according to the National Foster Youth Institute, more than 40% of school-aged children in foster care have academic difficulties.
