Youth in foster care have a unique set of circumstances and challenges when it comes time for them to make post-secondary plans. While the barriers to attending college for foster youth may be varied, research shows that a college education has huge impacts on the long-term outcomes of foster care alumni. Over 80% of youth in foster care say they want to go to college, but only about 3-7% of them actually obtain a degree. In this webinar, Foster Progress will walk you through the stakes facing this vulnerable population and the ways you can support them to reach their potential. We will identify strategies and resources that you can reference, including what to be aware of as you navigate college during and in the wake of COVID-19.
