The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services reported that nearly 2,000 children in Harris and Montgomery counties live in the Foster Care System. Of those, almost 1,000 will soon turn 18 and age out of the program.
LSC has developed the Lone Star College Navigators program which can help individuals with transportation, child care, housing assistance and other beneficial services programs that assist students who grew up in the Foster Care System.

I wanted better for myself, so I finished my AAS. With my second AAS, I will transfer to a four-year college to be a Social Worker.
