For renewed staffing support for the Fair Futures for Youth in Prevention/Prevention Aftercare Program which seeks to improve academic, career, and housing outcomes for youth. It includes targeted 1:1 coaching, tutoring, and social and emotional support designed to help young people navigate unique challenges and successfully transition into adulthood. Renewed support would partially support: Fair Futures Coaches, who are instrumental to the Fair Futures model; and a new Fair Futures Coach & Education Specialist. This new position will allow NAC to expand its capacity to serve more young people, and provide them with tailored academic and educational supports by which they can better achieve their full potential. Fair Futures, funded by the NYC Administration for Children’s Services (“ACS”), currently only serves youths aged 13 – 26 who are in foster care. NAC’s goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Fair Futures for Youth in Prevention program so that it might become a City-wide, ACS-funded program which is not just for youths in foster care. NAC’s mission is to provide innovative high-quality services in support of birth, foster, and adoptive families caring primarily for children with special healthcare needs, which includes children with severe physical disabilities, emotional and behavioral challenges, and developmental disabilities.
