Meeting the Education Requirements of Fostering Connections: Learning from the Field

By Connected by 25, The Finance Project, and the Youth Transition Funders Group (2010)

This document aims to help agency leaders, policymakers, judges, and their partners understand and respond effectively to the education requirements of Fostering Connections by reflecting on lessons learned from a decade of initiatives to improve education outcomes for youth in and leaving foster care.  It focuses on how policies and practices implemented in response to Fostering Connections can provide the foundation for collaborative education supports that lead more youth in foster care to complete high school and pursue and succeed in postsecondary education.
