Child and Family Policy Institute of California

The Youth Engagement Project (YEP) is a partnership between CFPIC and the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to improve Child Welfare policies, programs and practices by building capacity for youth engagement at the state and local level. YEP works with counties to engage current or former foster youth on local projects designed to strengthen Child Welfare systems. These youth, called YEP Ambassadors, can engage with county coordinators in a variety of ways.
