As the final installment to our foster care awareness saga, we interview Michelle Fleece, Program Manager of the Mentoring with Oversight for Developing Independence with Foster Youth (MODIFY) program at the WVU CED. Michelle reviews all the details of how her program can help aging youth from foster care to attend college or other training programs after high school.
