Trauma-informed After-school Program: FAN's trauma-informed after school programs integrate a positive youth development philosophy with an understanding of the impact of trauma and toxic stress on children and youth to provide tailored support to children and youth who have had or are at risk of contact with the child welfare system. FAN implemented its Positive Youth Development (PYD) Program in June, 2006- a daily after school and summer program for up to 30 8-18 year old children and youth. FAN's PYD program operates for hours each afternoon for 32 weeks during the school year. Most youth take advantage of FAN provided transportation to ensure that they arrive safely at the program each day, a critical service given that many foster parents are elderly and do not drive, and the geographic spread of schools and foster homes. Two certified youth peer specialists staff the program, partnering with volunteers who provide academic support and homework help to program participants for one hour each afternoon, and also facilitating team building, cultural, or mentoring activities. In addition to the certified youth peer specialists, volunteer instructors expose participants to a wide variety of activities they might not otherwise be able to experience, offering daily arts, sports, recreational, and vocational instruction to groups of 10 young people. Volunteer tutors provide small group a
