Resiliency, Engagement and Access to Education for Youth in Care
July 22, 2008
Youth in care face many barriers when it comes to education and transitioning to healthy adulthood. Canadian youth aging out of care have cited the following requirements as being crucial in ensuring better transitions to adulthood:
· need for ongoing supportive relationships
· peer support, independent living training
· increased access to financial support and
· support in gaining access to education, employment and training programs.
With the financial support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, as well as the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation and the Laidlaw Foundation, the National Youth in Care Network is excited to announce a series of activities designed to enhance academic success, engagement and resiliency of youth in care.
As part of this series, we will be offering youth storytelling and development workshops, collecting youth story submissions, and compiling case studies on effective support programs, all focused on supporting and enhancing youth access to post secondary education.
