AWARDS
AWARDS
FOR YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE
The
Child Welfare Fund established the annual Awards for Youth in
Foster Care in 1999 to help create a more positive image of
foster care youth among agency staff, youth workers and the
general public. Thirty-five youth receive cash awards between
$150 and $1,000. The prize money can be spent however the winner
likes, although it is recommended that it be spent for education-related
activities. These awards are given to celebrate the feisty,
courageous young people who have turned their lives around or
helped others do the same. The
awards are given in June of each year and administered by
Foster Care Youth United
224 West 29th St. (2nd fl.)

AWARDS
FOR YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE
The
Child Welfare Fund established the annual Best Practices Awards
in 2000 to recognize individuals who demonstrate best practices
in working with families in the child welfare system. A particular
focus of the award is on the Service Plan Review when families
and agencies plan for the services and assistance that families
need to be united with their children. Cash awards of $1,000
are provided to 15 social workers and supervisors. Senior
management are also acknowledged for their outstanding service.
The
awards are administered by the Council of Family and Child

Fifteen awards of $1,000 each are provided to parents who
