The NYC Administration for Children’s Services and the Center for Fair Futures are being recognized for the successful implementation of the Fair Futures model in New York City. The Fair Futures model provides 1:1 coaching and tutoring and a range of academic, career development, housing and independent living supports to young people in foster care and those whose lives were touched by foster care from sixth grade through age 26. An independent report, conducted by leading national child welfare experts at Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, found that Fair Futures made “remarkable” implementation progress in a short time period, that Fair Futures has helped bolster a strong youth-centered culture within foster care agencies and that the Center for Fair Futures provides a broad and deep range of supports to foster care agencies.
