IBT College Business Travel and Tourism Technology is working in conjunction with the Child Welfare PAC. “Youth who leave foster care face challenging life outcomes including: low academic achievement, unemployment and underemployment, homelessness and housing insecurity, criminal justice system involvement, early pregnancy and parenthood, health and mental health outcomes and loneliness. Despite decades of studies, increased investment, and many professionals who care, these results are not changing.” To learn more please visit the Child Welfare PAC website.
