Resource for Foster Youth Minimize
 

Did you know that there are groups and resources that exist specifically for foster youth? The information on the websites below provide critical connections for foster youth to help them network with other foster youth and share their experiences.   Much of the information on the websites is also useful for foster parents and professionals to help them understand what it is like to be a foster child and what foster children want to know about their history, their time in foster care, and you.

    NEW!  FosterClub Transition Toolkit
    FosterClub, a national network supporting young people in foster care, has developed the FosterClub Transition Toolkit to help youth develop a plan for transitioning into adulthood.  The Toolkit encourages youth to prepare their individual plan with the supportive adults involved in their lives, such as foster parents, teachers, or mentors, and is designed to help youth assess their assets, identify resources, and plan for life after foster care.  The toolkit also provides a "Readiness Scale" for youth to track their progress in areas like finances, education, self care and health, career, life skills, and more.  To download the Transition Toolkit, visit www.fosterclub.com/files/transition_toolkit.pdf.
