Creative Youth Development Organizations in this Challenging Time
Their concerns, needs, and wisdom
Erik Holmgren, Program Manager
The Foster Families Pilot Program is a one-year pilot that connects Western Massachusetts Department of Children and Families offices and social workers with a contact person at participating cultural organizations in their region. Social workers and area offices will identify specific needs and opportunities, such as Sibling Saturdays or supervised visits, for DCF-engaged youth and families to engage with cultural organizations. We hope this pilot will unlock the power of culture for some of Massachusetts most vulnerable youth and families.
