The purpose of the FYSI is to remove barriers that youth from foster care often encounter when attempting to access or attend an institute of higher education. The FYSI aims to improve outcomes for foster youth students by improving the following key areas:
- Access to student services and resources
- Access to academic support
- Outreach and retention
- Academic performance
- Completion of units
- Completion of programs and degrees
- Transfer rates to baccalaureate
Lassen Community College has a designated FYSI Liaison located within Basecamp in CA 209. For more information please contact Tiffany Stone, at tstone@lassencollege.edu.
