Brief Program Description
This presentation describes a research development process that considers the intersecting systems and practices impacting experiences of foster youth participating in First Star Academy–a transition support intervention program. The presenters will share their project’s development related to youth outcomes (academic, social-emotional, self-determination and advocacy). The presenters will provide a step-by-step overview of their Theory of Change (ToC) framework for the project that centers on the multidimensional and cross-system experiences of youth, recognizing that youths’ experiences in the child welfare and education systems cannot be separated from the historic structural racism that undergirds them, as well as action steps for equity-based researchers and practitioners.
