Future Development Strategies

Strategy 1 - Peer Mentoring

Pilot a peer mentoring program beginning Fall 2019


Initiatives
  • Enhancing a Culture of Completion and Goal Achievement
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning
  • Enhancing a Culture of Equity and Inclusiveness

Supporting Rationale

Mentoring has proven to have positive impacts on student outcomes including, retention, completion, GPA, graduation, and transfer. Most foster youth lack positive role models in their lives. 有一个导师来示范行为,导致在教育和/或就业目标的实现,有助于提高我们的培养青年的教育成果,从而增加自尊, improved mental health and financial independence. Studies also show mentors also benefit from being mentors, providing help for two students at the same time.

Strategy 2 - 50% funding for full-time Student Success Specialist

将学生成功专家的工作时间由兼职增至全职,为学生提供学术支持,包括:

  • Inreach and outreach on campus and within the community
  • Job development
  • Teach foster youth important life management skills
  • Establish a peer mentoring program
  • Establish an academic support program

Initiatives
  • Enhancing a Culture of Completion and Goal Achievement
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning
  • Enhancing a Culture of Equity and Inclusiveness

Supporting Rationale

“激励学者”创建了一个支持性的社区,为进入大学的青少年提供帮助. While engaged students have seen some improvement in their academic outcomes, 要使寄养青年取得与一般学生群体相当的成果,还需要取得更多进展. 一名学生成功专家将为参加激励学者计划的青少年提供所需的学术支持.

Strategy 4 - Increase Foster Youth Student Employment on Campus

增加外联和确保资金,以增加在校青年学生的就业


Initiatives
  • Enhancing a Culture of Completion and Goal Achievement
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success

Supporting Rationale

在2018年秋季学期,我们整合了一个鼓舞人心的学者勤工俭学计划, which is only available to CAFYES students, leaving 3 out of 4 foster youth unable to participate.

Student Employment is correlated with better academic outcomes. At the same time, employment provides life skills, increased feelings of self-worth, and money for students who struggle financially. 该项目希望通过宣传和确保资金,让各院系聘用寄养青年作为学生助理,来增加校园雇佣寄养青年的数量.

Initiatives

Initiatives
  • Enhancing a Culture of Completion and Goal Achievement
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning
  • Enhancing a Culture of Equity and Inclusiveness

Supporting Rationale

鼓舞人心的学者们获得了资金来支持CAFYES培养青少年——那些在16岁和26岁以下的被照顾的学生. We would like to increase recruitment and retention of these students. 我们也希望增加通过激励学者寻求支持的合格学生的数量, but don't end up becoming CAFYES students. These students are vulnerable and could use additional academic support. By reaching these students, 我们可以为他们提供资金和资源,让他们在大学里取得成功.
