Case Study: Valley Youth House

The cops found me after three days. They decided it wasn’t working for me living at that other house so they moved me to different foster home. I’ve been to three different foster homes in the last month and a half, and now I’m on my fourth. I guarantee you I won’t last long here either. I’m already leaving this place without their permission.

Foster youth has long been thought of as an at-risk population, often failing the educational system. In her dissertation on foster youth and secondary education, Brenda Morton writes, “Foster children are an invisible population. Teachers and administrators often do not know that a student is in foster care” (p. 1).

California has the largest population of foster youth with approximately 56, 138 youth (Children’s Bureau, 2014). It is estimated that foster youth high school graduation rates are near the forty sixth percentile and college graduation rates are near two percent for former foster youth, making this at-risk population is in need of more support (Friends of Foster Families, 2014).

Foster youth living in residential facilities have a high risk of entering the juvenile justice system. Most incarcerated adults in the federal justice system are former foster youth. Lack of stability, poor life skills, mental health issues, and academic failure lead many TAY to engage in criminal activity. To serve this vulnerable population, I would attempt to connect the TAY to a caregiver or mentor to build a strong attachment. I would promote them to work towards acquiring job skills and training to have employment opportunities and break the cycle of criminal activity. Finally, I would provide an in depth assessment to identify if they are in need of additional services such as wraparound, counseling, and tutoring, to minimize risk and

In the Family Service Association of West Riverside County’s (FSAWRC) proposal, they summarize their goals as being able to serve moderate to low income youth and senior citizens with free and low cost services.
