Fairfax County's Fostering Futures Team recently hosted its inaugural Education Expo, an event designed to bridge a critical gap in opportunities for youth in foster care. This pioneering expo aimed to connect older youth and young adults, aged 14 to 25, with vital information on education, job training, and vocational careers.
The initiative marks a significant step for the county, developed specifically to address identified needs within the foster care community. The Fostering Futures Team supports these young individuals, helping them to "level up their future" by exploring various pathways to success and independence.
