Foster Youth Services Coordinating (FYSC) Programs provide support services to foster children who suffer the traumatic effects of displacement from family and schools and multiple placements in foster care. FYSC Programs have the ability and authority to ensure that health and school records are obtained to establish appropriate placements and coordinate instruction, counseling, tutoring, mentoring, vocational training, emancipation services, training for independent living, and other related services.

FYSC Programs increase the stability of placements for foster children and youth. SMUHSD is dedicated to making smooth transitions for our foster youth, and help to provide support to ensure their success
