Kristen Schilt. Youth Experiences Aging out of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services Care.
Very long and detailed proposal. Received $20K to do this research project. Waiting until one month out of care to ask them about their mental health issues, linkages and provide them with a small amount of money. Not sure how she is going to connect with the children. Planning to do 6 interviews each year. Youth are getting $50 incentives.
Not our job to tell her to scale it back, it is the job of her advisor. Would be surprised if she is going to get the number of youth that she is looking to get and whether she would be able to speak to them longitudinally.
MOTION: Christina Chojnacki motioned to approve the proposal.
Robin LaSota seconded the proposed motion and a unanimous vote from the remaining board members carried the motion.
Next meeting scheduled for May 24, 2022 at 2 PM.
