http://www.cfgnyc.org/programs/youth_adv.html

Extractions: Contributors Each year thousands of teens are thrust from group homes, institutions, and foster families onto the streets of New York City. At 18 - 21 they have "come of age" according to New York's foster care system and are expected to fend for themselves. These kids have dreams and aspirations ... to be teachers, doctors, graphic artists, accountants, pastry chefs. They have strengths and talents to be productive citizens, take responsibility, participate in a community. They have hopes of owning their own homes one day, having a family, living a good life. But according to studies, within a year 33% will be homeless, 50% unemployed, 25% arrested or incarcerated or on public assistance. Why? Because while the foster care system housed and fed them, no one showed them how to plan their future. No one reinforced their ambitions, or encouraged them to continue their education as a means of realizing their dreams. In fact, many are released from foster care without so much as a place to live, or any idea of where or how to go about getting a job. Youth Advocacy Center is changing that. In after-school seminars, these young adults are taught skills to address the challenges that await them. How to set career goals and map a route to reaching them. How to research and analyze prospects in their chosen field. How to identify possible allies and create a strategy to enlist their help. How to inventory their strengths and weaknesses ... to present themselves positively and confidently, both in writing and in person. How to deal with the setbacks and rejections in life.

With financial support from the US Agency for International Development and the British Know How Fund, Moscow's Society of Disabled People "Perspektiva," the World Institute on Disability and Britain's Derbyshire Center for Integrated Living have collaborated on developing a replicable strategy for empowering youth with disabilities. This collaboration of Russian, British and US disability organizations has recruited and trained a cadre of 46 young disabled activists in 7 cities. They are providing disability awareness training in Russian public schools, writing articles, soliciting local media coverage and conducting disability awareness workshops for local NGOs, businesses, and government officials. Additionally, the youth teams are outreaching to other youth with disabilities through peer support groups and self-advocacy training. The All-Russian Society of the Disabled identified serving young people with disabilities as one of its priorities in Program of Action for 1997-2001.

Extractions: The Youth Advocacy Program (YAP) provides student representation at Board of Education hearings for children who have been formally suspended from school. YAP also works closely with families whose children have been diagnosed as learning disabled or in need of special education services. The goal of the program is to ensure children's due process rights are protected, so that they may return to an appropriate learning environment in a timely fashion. Advocacy involves working with parents and diffusing the side issues. We also help the children with their behavior and counsel them on what to do if the situation happens again. Each year, YAP assists over 1,000 students. View our Student Suspension Handbook for help on the suspension process. For more information, call Greenard Poles at 853-0600 Contact Information
