Young people transitioning from #FosterCare to adulthood benefit from extra support to reach their education, career, and housing goals. The NYC Fair Futures Program is a citywide initiative responding to this need by connecting young people to coaches, tutors, and specialists who provide targeted support. It’s grown to include 25 foster care agencies and serve nearly 4,000 young people. New York's Administration for Children's Services and Youth + Families Forward asked Chapin Hall researchers to evaluate this program’s implementation: https://lnkd.in/gtgWs9yF. Here are some top findings: ☑️ Youth appear to be centered in the program framework ☑️ Training was extremely helpful for agencies’ staff ☑️ An effective feedback loop has been established to address challenges and improve program implementation
