Promoting Educational Stability and Success for Youth in Foster Care

For youth in foster care, changes in placement can too often mean changes in schools, interrupted coursework, lost records, missed instructional time, and other barriers to academic success. Trent Hill Center’s Education Services Team helps ensure that foster care youths' educational needs remain a priority, even when other parts of a young person’s life are changing.

Our education professionals work alongside youth, caregivers, DSS professionals, schools, and other partners to identify educational needs, address barriers, and promote continuity and progress. Through individualized advocacy and coordination, we help the adults and systems surrounding each young person work together toward a common goal: keeping youth connected to education and moving forward academically.

Trent Hill Center's Education Services for youth in our care include:

  • Education Consultation and Advocacy Services

  • Tutoring

  • Independent Living Skills Curriculum

  • Day Services Educational Programming

  • Educational Travel

“Every placement change should not have to mean an educational setback. By providing consistent advocacy and coordination, we are ensuring youth maintain educational stability, make academic progress, and stay connected to opportunities for their future.”

Our Vision: Every child and every family will be valued, encouraged, and welcomed in their safe, stable communities.
