New Digital Platform Explores Community-Based Support for Young Adults Transitioning Out of Foster Care

New Digital Platform Explores Community-Based Support for Young Adults Transitioning Out of Foster Care. A newly launched digital initiative is drawing attention for its focus on community engagement and visibility for young adults transitioning out of the foster care system-one of the most underreported and underserved social challenges in the United States. Developed by author and socialimpact advocate Sabrina Oxford, GLAM-Go Live, Auction, Movement-is an independently built online platform designed to uplift creators while shining a national spotlight on fostercare survivors. GLAM encourages users to "Go Live with a Purpose," offering a space where positive content, generosity, and community support take center stage in a digital world often dominated by noise and negativity.Rather than chasing followers or trends, GLAM emphasizes fundraising, dignity, and meaningful participation. It's a givingdriven platform built for people who want their time online to matter-both for themselves and for the young adults who often age out of foster care with no safety net.

A National Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight. Each year, approximately 25,000 young adults age out of foster care in the United States without being adopted or reunified with family. Many exit the system without stable housing, financial support, or a safe place to go. For thousands, "graduation day" is followed not by celebration, but by the sudden reality of homelessness after surviving both early instability and the challenges of the fostercare system itself.National studies show:1 in 5 become homeless within the first year of aging out. Fewer than 3% earn a college degree. Nearly 50% experience unemployment by age 24About 1 in 4 face incarceration within two years. Many report untreated trauma, food insecurity, and the absence of stable adult support. Despite these outcomes, the transition out of foster care receives limited public attention, and few scalable, communitydriven solutions exist.

A Platform Built to Address the Visibility Gap

GLAM was created in direct response to this longstanding need. Instead of treating fostercare outreach as a secondary cause, the platform embeds awareness and participation into its core design. Users engage with content that highlights lived experiences, entrepreneurship, and peersupported growth-creating a digital environment where visibility, dignity, and community presence are prioritized. GLAM's participation model emphasizes transparency, accountability, and nonprofit alignment. The platform encourages ethical fundraising and sustained involvement while offering a positive, uplifting space where kindness is the currency. As Oxford describes it, "The kindness brings you in. The community keeps you here."

Nonprofit Alignment and MissionDriven Design. The project is affiliated with Peoples Reach Out On Fostercare, a registered non-profit organization dedicated to advocacy and longterm support for fostercare survivors. Through this alignment, GLAM contributes to national conversations around stability, belonging, and economic opportunity for young adults aging out of care.

While many digital platforms prioritize rapid growth and monetization, GLAM's mission is to explore how online engagement can be used responsibly to support socialimpact initiatives. Organizers describe the project as an evolving experiment in communitydriven support rather than a traditional commercial venture.

As discussions around ethical technology and social responsibility continue to grow, initiatives like GLAM highlight emerging efforts to use digital tools to address longstanding social challenges.
