This event will be a day where we invite all our regions LA County High School Districts (counselors and FY Liaisons) to meet many College FY contacts, hoping to increase collaboration between colleges and local high Schools as they provide post-secondary preparation and guidance to LA County foster students.
Learning Objectives:
Explore ways that post-secondary institutions can effectively build a collaboration with high school counselors, district Foster Youth liaisons, and at times DCFS social workers.
Gain an understanding of the college-specific requirements for entry into their college-based foster youth support program.
Examine two resources that go hand in hand with this collaborative training. The resources are based on up-to-date college requirements and a web-based live CANVAS page made accessible to the public.
