Reach Webinar Series
Join Us December 3rd for a Webinar to Help You Understand the ETV
The Texas Education and Training Voucher (ETV) is a federal "need-based" benefit that provides funding for youth and young adults who have experienced foster care and are attending post-secondary school. This webinar will outline post-secondary benefits and help attendees understand the unique challenges that foster care alumni face when aging out of care and moving on to post-secondary education.
The presentation will highlight resources available to current and former foster youth and will underscore the importance of school employees, aftercare service providers, and other community partners creating partnerships to help youth aging out of foster care realize their educational goals. The webinar will take place on December 3, 2024 from 10-11am
