Dependent Youth Aging Out of
Foster Care: A Guidebook for Judges
The Juvenile Law Center says judges
should treat as seriously decisions affecting older youth -- especially
those who, at 18, are aging out of the foster care system -- as those
affecting young children in public care. This guidebook outlines questions
judges should answer when ruling on permanency or discharge plans for
youth in foster care.

Connected by 25: A Plan for Investing in Successful Futures for
Foster Youth
Most teens rely on their families and community as they transition into
adulthood -- but many kids in foster care age out of the system without
the supports they need. The Foster Care Work Group (part of the Youth
Transition Funders Group) offers a roadmap for public and private
investments in services and supports that can improve the odds for foster
youth as they become self-sufficient adults.

Youth Permanency
Safety, permanency, and well-being are goals for all children and youth,
especially for those in foster care. Helping youth leave foster care to live
with legal, permanent families is a key strategy in achieving these goals.
Assisting youth in establishing and nurturing permanent, caring connections
to responsible adults also supports these goals. This web page covers the
following topics: Strategies and Programs; Spotlight on Adoption; Supporting
Youth in Foster Care; Youth Perspectives; and Outcomes for Emancipated
Youth. |
