Current
Model Intervention Project – Community and Adolescents Advancing Nationally (CAAN) Grant
The Research/Evaluation task group is conducting a thorough analysis of foster youth and is working with task force groups to develop a survey that specifically addresses risk and protective factors that affect each of the outcome areas and could be predictive of homelessness ranging from 14 – 21 years old and to identify what information they have about their options for housing when they age out of care.
Foster Care Project
The ACCESS Center computer lab and resource room assists youth transitioning out of foster care to enroll in college and provides a webpage for all foster youth to provide updated information on college applications, course registration, financial aid, and housing.
Early Childhood Teacher Initiative
Sophia Ortiz and Alexandra Romero mentored and advised early childhood education teachers with financial aid, class selection, major selection, and future education goals as part of a two year City of San Antonio grant from Health and Human Services. The Initiative also provided four condensed UTSA courses to help participants progress quickly in their education.
