Join us for a virtual panel to dicuss the lived reality of foster care alumni in Western New York with local and national stakeholders.
In Erie County’s 2024 budget, legislators added a new funding line specifically for this population and called for “wraparound services for young people after foster care, including a central hub for resources and referrals; mentoring on issues like housing, finding a job, financial literacy, education, and additional engagement of older youth for services.” This is due to advocacy efforts of Fostering Greatness Inc. with PPG's Community Agenda. Now it is time to discuss implementation, solutions and community support for alumni in Western New York. You can register here.
