Foster Youth Bill of Rights
Presented by California CASA
Instructor: Sara Willhite, Office of the California Foster Care Ombudsperson

Participants will learn about the role, functions, limitations and the laws that govern the California Office of the Foster Care Ombudsperson (OFCO); learn about the OFCO Complaint Process; learn about the California Foster Youth Bill of Rights; and learn about how to identity potential foster youth rights violations and uphold the rights.
