Our Community Impact

Every year, more than 15,000 teens age out of foster care in the U.S. Many step into adulthood without stable housing, career guidance, or a support system. Nearly 20% become homeless within days, and only 8–12% will earn a college degree. These young people don’t lack talent, they lack access.

FuturesRise was created to change that.

Built into the core of PeopleRise Talent, FuturesRise opens real pathways into the workforce through career‑readiness training. We provide mentorship, and employer‑aligned opportunities designed specifically for youth aging out of care. The program is grounded in practical skill‑building and the belief that opportunity should be built, not assumed.

To fuel this work, we reinvest 5% of our revenue directly into FuturesRise. Through our client match programs, organizations can amplify their impact by supporting workshops, internships, and early‑career pathways that help bring the next working generation forward. As PeopleRise grows, so does our commitment. We plan to build a long‑term, scalable program that helps foster youth step into adulthood with confidence and a community behind them.
