Who is considered a foster youth?

sjayani — 2025-02-14 20:05:15 UTC

_{Definitions of children and youth in foster care vary significantly across programs, services, educational entitlements, and funding initiatives, affecting eligibility and access to critical resources. These variations, at both state and federal levels, have a direct impact on foster youth’s support and opportunities. The definitions provided here represent just a small subset of those outlined in the comprehensive foster youth definitions document by the California Department of Education.}
