$350,000 grant awarded to study foster youth
A five-year, $350,000 grant from the William T. Grant Foundation will enable Yates to continue ongoing research on how youth emerging from foster care navigate young adulthood. She will assess whether state legislation that took effect Jan. 1 allowing California teens to remain in foster care until age 21 improves their chance for success, and if communication styles of social workers influence decisions of foster youth to make use of new services provided under the legislation.
