Project

Fostering Higher Education

Project Description

This two-year project focuses on designing a college-focused intervention for young people transitioning from foster care to adulthood that contains components of educational advocacy, mentoring, and substance abuse prevention programming. This intervention will be designed to address both postsecondary access and retention. Intervention development will involve community stakeholder focus groups, convening of an expert scholar workgroup, and assessments of intervention usability and feasibility.
