Check out the description from the Aging Out Institute below:

The Aging Out Institute (AOI) Awards Program recognizes organizations for the work that they are doing to help foster youth age out of foster care and into independence successfully. Relationship building is a key success factor for all youth, but because of their difficult childhood and the inherent challenges of being part of the foster care system, foster youth do not often have the time or desire to develop strong, stable relationships with adults who will support them in their transition to adulthood. This year, Safe Families for Children was selected to receive the AOI Relationships Award for helping youth build supportive relationships with mentors as they age out of foster care through its PLUS (Providing Lasting Unconditional Support) program.
