Interested in joining the Youth Transition
Action Team Initiative? In partnership with Casey Family Programs, New Ways to Work is expanding the California Youth Transition Action Team Initiative (YTAT) network. Youth Transition Action Teams are action-orientated bodies that focus on bringing together the resources of the workforce, education, philanthropy, Child Welfare Systems and other public resources to better prepare adolescents who are current or former foster youth to achieve economic, educational, and employment success as they transition into the adult world. In order to develop a team that is best able to address building a comprehensive youth transition system that attends to foster youth’s multiple needs, county teams are encouraged to build membership across systems and agencies in the fields of child welfare and social services, workforce development, education, philanthropy, juvenile justice and other community-based and civic and governmental organizations If you would like to join the network by forming a Youth Transition Action Team in your county, or have a pre-existing partnership which may serve as a YTAT team, please apply online or contact Alyssum Root at aroot@newwaystowork.org, or (707) 824-4000 ext. 29. You can also join the YTAT listserve to receive newsletters, legislative updates, newsblasts, and other information focused on improving outcomes for all youth.
