The Home of Champions is located in New Paltz, New York and serves New York State and New York City youth. We focus on youth who have transitioned out of foster care and have been accepted into college or vocational school on their own merit. This initiative is extremely important and timely: 18-24% of college-aged foster youth are enrolled in college in New York State, but less than 3 % graduate. The program strategically leverages our statewide partnership amoung colleges and social service organizaations and will ensure unprecedented levels of access to a consortium of businesses, mentors, academic insitutions and other experts. HOC will provide a challenging, supportive home base where foster youth will have access to opportunities, resources, and mentoring necessary for them to successfully cultivate their careers, leadership potential (with a change-maker and entrepreneurial focus) and independent living capabilities (tiny home workshops!) It is clear the forward-thinking HOC team's priority is to sufficiently prepare these youth for the ever-changing job market. HOC's on-property Learning Center will exisit to provide skill-development, tech education, and tangible resources for youth to build qualifications, find jobs, and nuture their career path.
