Welcome to the Foster Youth in Transition Web site!
This Web site was the result of a recommendation made by the Statewide Task Force on Youth Transitioning from Foster Care in 2006. Over 100 members from public and private organizations that care about improving services to foster youth participated. Youth representatives were part of the Task Force and acted as a lead for each of the six subcommittees
that consisted of the State Court Administrative Office, Child Welfare Services Division; the
Governor's Task Force on Children's Justice; the Department of Human Services, Child Welfare Institute; the Office of the Children's Ombudsman; and Children's Charter of the Courts of
Michigan.
This is a Web site with information on a variety of issues important to current and former foster youth. The site provides links on how to develop supports, find services, get answers to important questions and just keep you posted on what's new.
The Web site will be updated by members of Michigan's Youth Boards from locations across the state. We want to know what you think. Send us comments in the feedback box. This site is for you - thanks for visiting!
