The Retirement Research Foundation Mission: Improving quality of life for older people in the U.S. History: Founded by John D. McArthur; first grant awarded in 1979 “Pathways”: Advocacy, Applied Research, Training, Direct Service, Organizational Capacity Building Strategic Priority Areas: Stay Tuned!

Jeannine Goal: Our long term aim is that all transition age foster youth in Los Angeles County and New York City become self-sufficient and thriving adults. Over the next five years, we will address the challenges faced by all foster youth as they age out of the foster care system with a focus on career and college readiness. This includes specific high-risk youth, such as those who are pregnant and/or parenting and those also involved in the juvenile justice system.

Strengthen systems and policy: Promote comprehensive systems reform and policy change and enhance cross-system collaboration to expand funding and increase the field's ability to support foster TAY. Expand and share knowledge: Develop and share new knowledge and research to guide strong evidence-based policy and practice and improve outcomes for foster TAY. Advance programs: Find effective programs and models to help foster TAY gain the skills they need to become self-sufficient and thrive, with a primary emphasis on education and career success. Three Objectives Jeannine
