Each Thursday in April our blog posts will focus on the theme “Throw-Back Thursday” and I will share past blog posts with you.
Today’s Throw-Back Thursday theme is academic enrichment.
Education is as integral part of the solution to achieve better long-term outcomes for youth in foster care. Foster youth deserve access to the same academic resources, services, extra-curricular and enrichment activities available to all students. Educational stability and high quality education should be a part of the permanency plan for all youth in care. Please feel free to share your thoughts here or on the individual blog posts.
