May 2025 Rise & Brew

Educational Stability for Students in Foster Care

This May, we will unpack the mission-critical responsibilities of Foster Care Liaisons and explore real-world strategies to support students in foster care through the FOSTER Framework. Attendees will learn about trauma-informed tools to strengthen impact, help create stability for students navigating foster care, and improve collaboration with child welfare partners, foster parents, and nonprofits.

This session will include:

  • Practices to champion Foster Youth by strengthening connection and belonging
  • Communication tools to increase clarity and confidence
  • Practical insights that turn obstacles into outcomes

Join us to champion change so our students may thrive!
