Children don’t automatically leave the program at a specific age. Instead, they graduate once they finish school. Students are encouraged to pursue college or vocational training after secondary school, giving them the best tools for success as an independent young adult. These older students may continue to be sponsored until they finish their degree or diploma!
Sometimes a student may move out of the area, drop out of school, or stop participating for other reasons. In these cases, the student will leave the sponsorship program early. If your sponsored child graduates or leaves the program for any reason, we’ll contact you and give you the opportunity to transfer your sponsorship to another child who doesn’t have a sponsor.
