The Bexar County College Bound Docket is empowering foster youth with support through college.
Miranda 'MJ' Jones and DeAnne Roberts don't know one another, but they have two crucial things in common. A Bexar County courts program helped them transition into college after foster care. And they have begun anew. Jones , 28, became a San Antonio police officer in March. Roberts, 18, marked her first day of college at the University of Texas at San Antonio on Aug. 26.
And he works with their foster parents, peer advocates, mentors and other organizations to help make it happen. Together, they find solutions for each obstacle that comes up. Megan Piel, associate professor in the Department of Social Work at UTSA, helps measure the BCFES program's progress toward increasing college access, retention and graduation rates for students who spent time in foster care.
