Connect 2 Go!

Know How 2 Go Tampa Bay and Connected by 25 are working together to identify ways to help youth go to college. They would like to talk to young adults who currently are or have been in foster care to learn about things that helped them get through high school as well as things that make it hard to complete high school and continue their education after graduation. They are particularly interested in learning things that helped and frustrated college aspirations of youth who were in foster care. The interviews will take place at a time and location convenient to the participant and participants will receive a $20.00 store gift card.

If you would like to learn more about the project, please send an e-mail to Catherine Batsche at cbatsche@fmhi.usf.edu. Please provide your name, phone number and/or an e-mail address. If you prefer to contact them directly, please call Catherine Batsche at (813) 974-7196.

Connect 2 Go! is located at the University of South Florida and is funded by the Children's Board of Hillsborough County as well as the USF Collaborative for Children, Family, and Communities.
