Increasing Access to Opportunities for Youth in Care

Young people from project Foster Power and OCR’s Lived Experts Action Panel, along with pFP’s adult ally Jordyn Gendel and OCR’s Youth Empowerment Attorney Cara Nord, will facilitate a discussion about (1) the importance of extracurricular, enrichment, cultural, and social activities to children/youth in care and caregiver’s exercise of the reasonable and prudent parent standard (RPPS) to allow children/youth to engage in such activities, (2) what federal and state laws, as well as state regulations, say about such activities and the RPPS, and (3) how GALs/CFY can advocate for such activities.
