Full-time
- Fair Futures is a youth-led advocacy movement and coalition of 100+ organizations advocating for young people who are system-involved in New York City to have access to the individualized support they need to achieve their potential.
- As a result of the Fair Futures youth-led advocacy efforts, New York City became the first in the nation to secure public funding for all young people in foster care through age 26.
- In 2020, the Fair Futures model was implemented at all 26 foster care agencies.
- Coaches meet young people “where they are” and build a trusting relationship with them using an authentic, trauma-informed, strength-based approach, often in partnership with colleagues at Close to Home. In addition to providing weekly emotional support, Coaches help young people make progress towards their academic, career development, housing/independent living, and other life goals.
- Provide weekly, ongoing social/emotional support to youth in facility and on aftercare.
