Child Welfare PAC Canada is working with any post-secondary partners in Canada who wish to increase social mobility for current and former foster kids.
Finances are a significant, but not only, barrier to post-secondary studies faced by people raised in care. Inspired by British Columbia, Child Welfare PAC has created an additional 130 tuition free opportunities in 10 schools in 3 provinces. Our end goal is similar opportunities at all post-secondary schools coast-to-coast. Download interactive pdf for sharing here.

Evidence-based Policy Making
legislate data and results-driven policy
If you do not measure what happens to kids after foster care, how do you know if your earlier interventions worked?
It is no secret that kids struggle after foster care. Knowing that is not enough. Every government must take responsibility for the children it is parenting by measuring life outcomes after care. Without baseline data unique to every jurisdiction, you will never know if you have succeeded in caring for these kids. This is a question of accountability, ethics, and responsible governance. When the most vulnerable people in society are not set up to succeed, everyone bears the costs.
