Description
With 3,500 children expected to age out of state care in the next three years, concern continues to mount over whether foster care youth can safely and successfully enter adulthood. That's where Florida lawyers come in. In January, Florida's Children First, an organization devoted to the systemic change, policy issues, and training and support of lawyers who represent children, launched the Justice For Foster Youth at LAST program. The program was created to provide pro bono opportunities for lawyers interested in helping children successfully transfer out of the foster care system.
