FELIX ORGANIZATION - ADOPTEES FOR CHILDREN INC

The Felix Organization provides inspiring opportunities and new experiences to enrich the lives of children who are growing up in the foster care system.

There are roughly 400,000 children in the United States in foster care. Approximately 14,000 live in New York City and 16,000 in Los Angeles.

​

For youth who age out of the foster care system, approximately:

• 20% struggle with homelessness
• 50% do not complete high school
• 40% are unemployed
• 36% are arrested
• 22% are incarcerated
• 50% of girls are pregnant within 12-18 months of leaving foster care

​

Felix helps youth in foster care become tomorrow's leaders. Our young adults have become camp counselors. They have gone to college. And they have defied the statistics to achieve their unique dreams and goals.
