Graduates are success stories for local group’s foster-focused mission

On May 16, the fourth annual Ready to Succeed (RTS) Graduation Celebration took place at Chief Clubhouse in West Hollywood, praising RTS scholars that graduated from schools like UCLA, UC Berkeley, California State University Northridge (CSUN) and more. RTS, a Santa Monica-based nonprofit, launched in 2016 to meet the needs of those within the nation’s largest foster care system, filling the gaps in professional and personal development. Since launching with just five students, the program has expanded exponentially, securing paid summer internships during college for 94% of scholars.
