Women in Transition was founded in 2004 by a foster mother who saw a dire need for children who were aging out of the US foster care system. 9600 young women age out of foster care every year in the US. After 18 months of emancipation 40-50% become homeless. Our founder thought that there must be a way to empower these kids towards their independence and from this heart, Women in Transition was born.
Since then, we have dedicated our efforts to serve young women in Baltimore who just need that extra push, motivation, guidance and love. We empower our girls to recognize and harness their unique abilities and talents to gain the confidence to pursue even their wildest dreams.
With the introduction of the Transition Planning Institute and initiatives like The Marylander, our girls are placed into a program where they can identify and work towards a higher education and career path of their choice.
We believe that every girl has something to offer their community and this world. So, we are devoted to help them make it happen.
