Through collaboration and strategic alliances, we are working to ensure that every young person, no matter how bumpy his or her path, can get back on course. We want to make sure that every young adult has the education, skills, and supports to be truly Connected by 25. |

 The Youth Transition Funders Group is a network of grantmakers whose mission is to help all youth make a successful transition to adulthood by age 25. Most young people make a safe passage from adolescence to adulthood with the support of their families, caring adults, communities, and schools. However, youth with few supports – such as teens aging out of the foster care system, youth who don't finish high school, or youth in the juvenile justice system – need help to find the right path to success. YTFG is dedicated to improving the lives of the 3 million young people, between the ages of 14 and 24, in need of extra support. |
  Joe Clark, President Eckerd Family Foundation Tell us about your work at the Eckerd Family Foundation. What is the mission of the foundation and how does your work help to make that mission a reality? We are a family foundation and a spend-down foundation, two factors that distinguish who we are and how we operate. When the Eckerd Family Foundation first opened its doors, it was with the understanding that we would have about a 15-year life span. Our current plan calls for us to close no later than 2014, and we intend to complete the last round of regular grantmaking by the end of 2012. |
