A Step Ahead Foster Youth Summer Camp
Montana foster care youth are invited each year to apply for available slots at the “A Step Ahead” college preparatory camp. The free camp — coordinated by Student Assistance Foundation and the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) — offers foster care students the opportunity to experience learning in a college campus setting.
Students
from across the state participate in activities geared toward teaching
them basic computer skills, how to use the Montana Career Information System
(MCIS), debt management techniques, how Foster Care Education and Training
Vouchers can help them pay for college and more. But, perhaps the most
exciting aspect of the camp is that each participant receives a new computer
to take home with them!
