FOSTER YOUTH SUCCESS INITIATIVE
FOSTER YOUTH SUCCESS INITIATIVE (FYSI)
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.
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!
The FYSI program application is open year-round. For more information, please contact us at our main office.

CalWORKs
As a result of the 1997 federal welfare reform, the CalWORKs Program was established across all California community college campuses in 1998. This new welfare-to-work program is designed to promote self-sufficiency and personal responsibility. Under this program, community colleges statewide were allocated funds in order to expand existing services and provide the needed educational opportunities for CalWORKs Students.
