Also, we mentioned how to get involved in NYTD locally or nationally but also how to join similar programs and opportunities. What is NYTD / NYTD Reviewer: The National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) is a mandatory federal reporting system that collects data from states about youth demographics, the services youth receive, and the outcomes they experience as they transition out of foster care. The data are used to determine how, and how well, states prepare youth for adulthood.NYTD Reviewers provide unique expertise as youth with lived experience in the child welfare system as they participate on the federal team in case record reviews that assess the accuracy and appropriateness of services delivered to youth in foster care; conduct stakeholder interviews with state personnel and other young people to understand how a state has implemented NYTD data collection, analysis, and use; and provide assistance with the final state report that summarizes findings and recommendations from the review.There are currently 34 federally trained NYTD Reviewers nationwide Since NYTD was created there have been a little over 100 NYTD Reviewers trained nationwide Learn more about NYTD NYTD Reviewer Opportunity https://www.acf.hhs.gov/cb/training-technical-assistance/federal-nytd-reviewer-opportunity For States https://www.acf.hhs.gov/cb/research-data-technology/reporting-systems/nytd FosterClub https://www.fosterclub.com/ Foster Youth in Action https://www.fosteryouthaction.org/ Jim and Annie E Casey Foundation https://www.aecf.org/work/child-welfare/jim-casey-youth-opportunities-initiative Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute http://www.ccainstitute.org/Shadow Day https://nfyi.org/what/shadowday/Speakers EmailsDaniel Daniel.Woodruff2019@gmail.com Tesh Teshiana20@fosterclub.com Michael MDDTSpeaks@gmail.comTo apply and learn more: cw@jbsinternational.com add NYTD to the subject line.
