The Senate Caucus on Foster Youth invites you to a roundtable discussion on the issues facing older youth in the foster care system. Join us for the first of several events focusing on the unique challenges that youth face—from permanency and adoption to transitioning to adulthood from the foster care system. Hear from experts in the field, as well as representatives from federal agencies, and youth who are in or have experienced the foster care system.
