Cunningham Children's Home Supported Education and Employment for Older Youth in Care
Barry Ackerson, Dayna Finet, Misa Kayama, & Ozge Sensoy

The research described in this report analyzes empirically the status of an existing vocational program for foster children and youth. Additionally, study findings suggest a need for a structure and curriculum more compatible with currently accepted models in community mental health and adult education rather than within the confines of resources and supports typically available in a largely residential living program.
