Transitions
The Transitions program is geared towards foster children who are “aging-out” of the system and are in their senior level of high school. It is a program designed to help each child complete high school and
to provide him/her with the opportunity to pursue post-secondary education. The Transitions program also matches each foster child with a mentor to help ease the transition from foster care to college. The mentors also create a support system for their success.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
The Transitions Program recipients must be graduating seniors and apply for the program by September 30th of their graduating year. The caseworker for the recipient will fill out the Transitions packet and return to CMFCAA. The only exceptions that will be made are emergency placements. The Transitions packets will be distributed to Children’s Division agencies and other agencies that assist our foster youth. The caseworker for the recipient will fill out the Transitions packet and return to CMFCAA. The main objective of this program is for our recipients’ to pursue post-secondary education. However, if there is a situation where the child does not fit the “academic profile” then the recipient will have assistance through CMFCAA to secure employment and housing upon graduation.
