Extended Foster Care pairs young adults aging out of the foster system with a dedicated Success Coach who meets with them weekly to build on their strengths and support their transition into adulthood. The program helps youth access housing, education, healthcare, employment, and lasting connections.

For Luis, that support came at a critical time. After experiencing poverty, homelessness, loss, and time in juvenile detention, Luis found hope through his Child Crisis Arizona Success Coach, Marrtell.

"When I met Marrtell, he gave me the confidence to accomplish my goals. He helped me focus on my future," Luis said.

Today, Luis is in college, advocating for foster youth, and rewriting his story:

"I moved from a cell to a college classroom. I never saw myself here."

His journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when young people have someone in their corner.

Last year, 269 young adults stepped into independence—supported by Child Crisis Arizona Success Coaches who guided them toward financial stability, education, and mentorship.
