Ep. 37: The 1999 Collective

Support systems are crucial for young people who have experienced foster care. The 1999 Collective is a new community in Utah created by two people who have a wealth of knowledge and lived experience to share.

Together, Natalie Clark and Alexa Hudson want to make sure young men and women are able to access all the education, housing, and other resources they need.

For those who’ve experienced foster care after age 13, we can:

Meet to discuss $ available for college, trade school or other education options (specific to you!)
