HOUSE Webinars
Foster Progress Workshops
An important piece of Foster Progress's advocacy work is providing trainings to youth and groups interested in supporting youth from foster care in their transition into adulthood. We have impacted hundreds of foster parents, youth, and caseworkers through these workshops, equipping them with the tools necessary to support youth's success in college and beyond.
