<p>FYSA Community Support & Data VISTA</p> <p>Historically, the outcomes for youth who have aged out of foster care have been staggering. The Fostering Youth Success Alliance came together to change that fact here in New York State. Since its inception, the alliance has secured funding that has increased with each new budget. As part of its advocacy, the alliance has enlisted hundreds of youth from every corner of the state to make the case in Albany as well as City Hall. All of the youth advocates leave feeling empowered and with the knowledge that they have made their voices heard.
