Foster Youth Services and Homeless Education
Program Goals
The goal of the PUSD Foster and Homeless Youth Education Program is to provide students with support services such as educational planning, personal mentoring, academic goal setting, and community networking. Our program works in collaboration with school personnel and community service agencies to maximize access to various educational, social, and enrichment programs that promote academic success and student achievement. Our mission is to support foster and homeless youth pursue their educational endeavors!
