Welcome!

We recognize, as a foster youth or youth-in-care, how hard you work to overcome road blocks throughout your life. And at times, you have had to go it alone. Our goal at the Center for College Planning is to help reduce some of these road blocks and help make your journey to higher education an easier and more enjoyable one! You don't have to do this alone, we can help.

After working one-on-one with many youth in care, we decided to create this page to address specific areas of concern they helped us identify. Check out our list of resources especially for foster youth and youth in care for more information:
