Greetings Division Partners –

I hope all is well. The GA RYSE/Chafee Independent Living Program is partnering with the Orange Duffle Bag Initiative (ODBI) to provide professional life coaches to help youth to attain their educational and life goals. ODBI is currently recruiting foster care youth for their Coaching for College Completion (CCC) Cohort for the 2021 spring semester. Youth must meet the following eligibility requirements to participate:

• Are Chafee eligible,
• Currently enrolled in a post-secondary institution, and  
• Actively receiving Education and Training Voucher (ETV) support

Youth must engage their Regional Independent Living Specialist (ILS) to determine Chafee eligibility status and to receive pertinent information prior to complete registration. Please visit the GARYSE/Chafee Program website at www.garyse-ilp.org to identify their ILS point of contact.

Registration deadline is Sunday, February 28, 2021. Please see the linked flyer for details.

Kind Regards,
