Each year, more than 20,000 young people age out of foster care with little support and big obstacles ahead. Austin Hooper is using his platform to make sure they’re seen — and supported. Through the Austin Hooper Foundation and the Artem Vale Foundation, he’s uplifting programs like More Than Words, where young adults gain real-world experience, build confidence, and discover their own strengths. This year, two of those young creators designed his cleats, bringing their talent to a national stage and reinforcing Austin’s message: your past doesn’t define your potential.
