We are excited to share an opportunity the Division of Family & Children Services’ GARYSE Chafee Program has created in partnership with the Think of Us Research and Development Lab. Young adults ages 18-22 who experienced foster care in Georgia after their 14th birthday are eligible to apply for a one-time $1,000 micro-cash grant. There are only twelve available so applicants need to act FAST!

Think of Us is a nonprofit working to transform child welfare by putting the people most impacted by the system - current and former foster youth, caregivers and biological parents - at the center of creating systemic change. The Division has partnered with Think of Us to offer this grant, better understand the needs of young people, and connect them to the services they need.

Please spread the word to young people you believe may be eligible!
