Most of the resources that help young people succeed in high school, access college or technical training, and transition into careers exist outside the child welfare system. Child welfare is designed to ensure safety and permanency—not educational success or workforce readiness.
Fostering Success Michigan fills this gap. By aligning students, educators, and cross-sector partners in a statewide network, FSM connects youth with experience in foster care to the resources and support they need to succeed in education and build meaningful careers.
Fostering Success Michigan will increase access and success in postsecondary education among Michigan's students with experience in foster care through the building of a holistic network that insulates (i.e., strengthens protective factors and reduces risks) the education to career “pipeline” for students from foster care. The Fostering Success Michigan Network participants include: students with experience in foster care, higher education professionals, child welfare professionals, community organizations, supportive adults, philanthropic support, and the business community.
Fostering Success Michigan is a statewide initiative that aims to increase access and success in higher education for students with experience in foster care. Fostering Success Michigan is a program of Educate Tomorrow.
