Teens in foster care as well as youth who age out of care often face significant barriers to obtaining a driver’s license. Without a driver’s license, young people in foster care often miss out on age-appropriate adolescent experiences and opportunities that contribute to success in adulthood. Recognizing the high level of importance that a driver’s license can have in the life of an adolescent or young adult in foster care, SPARC and its state partners launched a targeted policy campaign to encourage policymakers to take action to remove barriers and promote better access to driver’s education and driver’s licenses for young people in foster care.
