  • Regional Training Academy Coordination Project, a statewide collaborative that provides continuing professional education of public child welfare staff;

  • The California Connected by 25 Initiative (CC25I), which was developed to help address the needs of youth as they are transitioning from the foster care system to adulthood.

  • Evaluation, outcomes, and Evidence-Based Practice. Both of the above projects are committed to the advancement of competency in public child welfare services by engaging in evaluation of program outcomes and the promotion of Evidence-Based Practice.
