A college or trade school degree can be a game changer for young people who have experienced foster care. In the September edition of our Fostering Conversations Podcast, we explore an innovative program at the University of Utah, designed to shepherd students to achieve success in higher education.
For more information on these programs, please visit their respective websites below:

DCFS also supports youth in care through the Transition to Adult Living program (TAL). You can learn more about the resources available through TAL below:
