About Fair Futures

Fair Futures is a youth-led advocacy movement and coalition of 100+ organizations advocating for all young people in New York City’s foster care system to have access to the individualized supports they need to achieve their potential. Fair Futures is also a comprehensive model that includes a middle school program that prepares students for success in high school and a coaching program where young people ages 14+ are matched with a full-time, professionally trained Coach.

As a result of the Fair Futures youth-led advocacy efforts, New York City became the first in the nation to secure public funding for all young people in foster care through age 26. In 2020, the Fair Futures model was implemented at all 25 foster care agencies, including Little Flower Children & Family Services of NY.

The overall goals of the Fair Futures program model are to help young people:

Build trusting relationships and a network of positive adult and peer supports;
Prepare for and graduate from high school;
Connect to and persist in post-secondary settings;
Engage in career exploration and career development experiences in line with their interests to help them eventually navigate onto a living wage career pathway;
