Turning 18 is a milestone, but it does not mean the journey ends.

For young people who have experienced foster care, the transition into adulthood can bring a lot of uncertainty as they navigate new responsibilities, opportunities, and challenges. At Waymark, we believe that growing older shouldn't mean having to figure everything out alone. Through our 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝟰𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 program, we are committed to walking alongside young adults as they take their next steps toward independence, providing encouragement, meaningful connections, critical resources and ongoing support. Our hope is that every young person knows they have people in their corner who believe in them and are cheering them on! During Journey Weekend, we had the joy of celebrating 8 of our 17-year-old campers as they graduated from camp and prepared for the next chapter of their journey. A special thank-you to 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗘𝗱𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 for providing such a meaningful and generous gift to help us celebrate these young people and all that lies ahead!
