For millions of children joining the soccer team, heading to camp or seeing their favorite basketball players in action on the court are happy memories that also teach important life lessons.
Research shows when a child participates in extracurricular activities like sports, dance or music you often see improved grades, attendance, and self-esteem.
But for thousands of foster youth across the country these experiences are out of reach.

“Foster youth who are moved from one home to another often struggle with feeling a real sense of belonging.
Being a part of a sports team, or youth club, can give them a sense of stability and support during times of crisis, a shelter from the storms.
We are so thankful for Ticket to Dream’s help to make these activities possible for foster kids.”
