In 1981, the late Joseph Rivers, a former foster youth from the Syracuse area, started the Orphan Foundation of America (OFA). His goal was simple--help orphans and foster youth as they transition from foster care to young adulthood, with particular emphasis on helping these young men and women attend college and vocational school. OFA has truly raised national awareness of foster care issues and comprehensive services for older youth are being implemented nationwide. Each year OFA and its scholarship partners award more funding and provide a stronger safety net for those pursuing post-secondary education.
