This effort supports the “Drive to Thrive” initiative to improve mobility and independence for vulnerable youth. • Develop a state‑wide driver‑education curriculum tailored to foster‑care youth. • Provide consulting and training services to licensing agencies and community partners. • Design outreach strategies to connect participants with affordable car‑insurance options. • Deliver ongoing program management, reporting, and performance metrics. • Coordinate with the Department of Social Services to ensure alignment with broader foster‑care goals.
