Barriers to Autonomy
Examining the specific challenges that prevent foster youth from obtaining their legal driver licenses.
3%
Of the kids in the nation aging out of foster care will have a driver's license. Not having one will limit them in more ways than one. Being able to drive in emergency situations can save lives.
Instructors
Majority of learners from foster care backgrounds attempt to learn without an instructor. Â
25%
Face high risks of homelessness shortly after their time in care ends. With a car more jobs will be available to them
The Pipe Line
90% of kids that have had five or more placement changes end up incarcerated after foster care. Â
Our Purpose
We prioritize assisting transitional age youth by eliminating the financial and legal barricades to driving, opening new doors for employment and educational opportunities for all participants.
​
This whole concept is to help people like my brothers my sisters and myself who aged out of foster care to have the ability to learn to drive at the same age as their peers.
Â
I did have people who cared enough to teach me, but with the state holding liability and not themselves there was always insurance issues.
Â
A long story short this created a lot of obstacles for me with furthering my education, employment opportunities, and everyday things like getting groceries, hospital visits, etc.,
Â
That’s where we step in.
FOSTERED ASSURANCE is NOT an insurance company. We are here so support those who are in or are aging out of foster care with help with liability auto coverage and guidance through the entire process.

The Importance of Certified Instruction
Transitioning out of state care is a difficult journey. Without reliable transportation, finding work or reaching school is nearly impossible. We provide the professional training needed to drive safely and gain the power to pursue your own goals. © 2026 Fostered Assurance.
