Supporting former youth-in-care TMU students

Background

Child Welfare PAC Canada is currently working with partners across Canada to increase education opportunities and social mobility for current and former foster kids. Finances are a significant barrier to post-secondary studies, especially for people raised in care. Child Welfare PAC has partnered with colleges, universities, and non-profits to create tuition-free opportunities at 48 schools in 8 provinces across Canada.
