Were you in foster care in Minnesota at 18 years old and participate in extended foster care? The Office of the Foster Youth Ombudsperson (OOFY) is looking for participants in a research study about how Minnesotans who are or were in foster care access extended foster care.

Eligible participants may be invited to a one-on-one virtual interview. If interviewed, you would receive a Visa gift card for up to $50 as a thank you for your time. You do not have to be currently enrolled in extended foster care to join this study.

To sign up for the study, fill out the online registration form. For questions, contact aflannigan@childtrends.org or call 240-223-9286.
