First Place For Youth

Jun 14, 2014

All foster youth have the support and resources to successfully transition to adulthood. Our strategic plan is anchored by three interconnected objectives:

Expand What works
Influence the foster care field and other stakeholders to adopt policies and practices that will help transition-age foster youth succeed.
Make the Case
Continue to build evidence that My First Place achieves measurable outcomes for youth.
Sustain Success
Build on the new funding stream we helped secure by raising funds to meet current program goals and enable growth.
