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.

The 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.

We believe that all youth can have a safe passage to adulthood if we collaborate to change the way that adults, youth, and systems work together.

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.

Stoneleigh Center is a fairly new foundation, established about three and a half years ago in Philadelphia.
