Fostering Healthy Connections through Peer Mentoring

The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), in partnership with FosterClub, has secured funding from the New York Life Foundation to launch a three-year initiative, Fostering Healthy Connections. It’s a unique peer mentoring program in which former foster youth mentor children and youth currently in the foster care system in order to develop healthy connections to: improve their educational and behavioral outcomes and strengthen their interpersonal relationships.
