2017 – 2022 Foster Youth Strategic Initiative Strategy Overview Document

The Conrad N. Hilton Foster Youth Strategic Initiative (the Initiative) grew out of an extensive research and synthesis process that included the perspectives of a wide variety of stakeholders. Ultimately, the process helped the Foundation better understand the challenges facing transition age youth (TAY) and identify successful models for change; this work became the foundation for the Initiative. In February 2012, the Board of Directors approved the Initiative and it launched in March 2012. The Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) component began in March 2013.
