Falcon Links received a grant from the State of Wisconsin to provide services to students on our campus who have aged out of foster care, been involved with child welfare system services, are experiencing homelessness, or otherwise have a need for social services support.  The age range of students is typically 17-26 but may be older in some unique circumstances. Social worker staff provide counseling, problem solving, resources referrals, and a small amount of financial services to recruit and retain foster youth or child welfare system involved young people to facilitate increased college graduation rates.
