Welcome Current and Former Foster Youth to Fullerton College!
The Foster Youth Success Initiative (FYSI) at Fullerton College is dedicated to supporting college-bound students currently or formerly in foster care, including probation and adopted youth. Our program was developed to provide a strong network of support—connecting students to essential on- and off-campus resources that promote academic success and personal well-being.
Recognizing the unique challenges foster youth face in accessing and completing higher education, the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) launched the FYSI to address these disparities and bring greater visibility to the needs of this population. Since Fall 2008, Fullerton College’s EOPS program has proudly served as a hub for foster youth support, offering specialized guidance and a welcoming environment. Through the FYSI program, students have access to a dedicated Student Services Specialist/Foster Youth Liaison who provides one-on-one support and helps connect students to services such as housing assistance, transportation, food, mental health, and more. At Fullerton College, we are committed to helping you succeed—both in and out of the classroom.
