Your donation is 100% tax-deductible and will go towards ensuring the success and sustainability of the Center for Fair Futures, which provides robust training, technical assistance, and professional development supports to 500+ Fair Futures staff so they can meet any young person where they are and support them in achieving their academic, career, and life goals.
The Center also works to identify and address systemic needs and gaps by launching programs and initiatives that young people say they need for their success and well-being.
Fair Futures is a true collaboration and community made possible by the many individuals who contributed to its growth and success. This grassroots, youth-led movement started in 2018 and evolved into a coalition of over 100 organizations and the largest cross-sector collaboration in the history of child welfare. Today, there are 500+ Fair Futures staff across 37 organizations implementing the model, which supports over 4,000 young people who have experienced NYC's foster care and/or juvenile justice systems.
