The Soul Care program was conceived of by youth in foster care and is being piloted by the Center for Fair Futures. It is being designed by the Public Policy Lab and Foster Youth Impact with guidance from the NYC Mayor’s Office for Community Mental Health and the NYC Administration for Children’s Services.
This multi-year initiative has been made possible by the generous support of the Conrad E. Hilton Foundation and the Fund for the City of New York.
