Engaging and Enriching Foster Students
There are ample opportunities and resources available to members of First Star Old Dominion University Academy. First Star’s Foster Youth Academies are the country’s first long-term college-prep programs for high school foster youth that include four immersive residential summers on a university campus and monthly sessions during each school year. We keep foster youth on track for high school graduation and prepare them for higher education and adulthood by providing specialized programming that addresses the academics, life skills, and adult supports unique to students in foster care.
