An act relating to establishing a culturally informed youth support pilot program

This bill proposes creating a pilot program to offer culturally informed health, wellness, and support services to youth from Black, Brown, and marginalized communities in Vermont. The program would specifically target justice-impacted youth and those who have been removed from their homes, providing mentorship, advice, and support to foster parents. It aims to deliver community-based programming designed to meet the cultural needs of these youth populations. The legislation would establish this initiative as a temporary pilot to test its effectiveness before any potential expansion.
