NYFC Launches NEW In-Care Emergency Educational Fund to Support College-Enrolled Foster Youth

New Yorkers For Children launched The In-Care Emergency Fund in August 2018 for New York City youth currently in foster care who are enrolled in a two or four-year vocational or educational program working towards an Associate’s, Bachelor’s Degree, or Certificate. It was designed to provide a safety net for these hardworking young people when they encounter an unforeseen or unusual financial emergency that would prevent them from continuing their education without interruption.
