A follow-up to last November’s webinar, Modifications to Extended Foster Care in COVID-19, this webinar will share updates to the laws, policies, and guidance that impact youth in and exiting Extended Foster Care, including modified timelines for receiving ongoing support past age 21. Additionally, presenters will share practice recommendations for early, robust, and youth-centered transition planning across several domains, including education, employment, housing, and permanency.

Through advocacy, support, and empowerment, the Guardian Scholars Program creates vibrant communities on California college and university campuses to engage current and former foster youth to attain college degrees, stable housing, and career-path employment.
