A message to supportive adults... Thank you for being a supportive adult for a young person transtioning from foster care.

your role is may be more important than you — or the youth — knows.

Our experience at FosterClub tells us having committed and reliable supportive adults are the number one indicator of success for young person transitioning from foster care.

Strengthen your role by:

■ Read the information in this toolkit and visit www.fosterclub.org for more tools to help youth prepare for life after foster care.
■ Visit www.fosteringconnections.org to learn more about the Fostering Connections Act.
■ Help the youth identify their strengths AND needs.
■ Make it clear how you are willing to support the youth.
■ Help keep the youth on track.
■ Celebrate success.
■ Remember that it’s the youth’s life — and it’s their transition plan. Mentor away, but keep in mind that ultimately, they will be the ones living out the plan.
