First lady Melania Trump is leading a new initiative to improve career and education opportunities for children raised in foster care. Her husband, President Donald Trump, signed an executive order Thursday to create a “Fostering the Future” program, which will create a network of federal entities, nonprofits, educational institutions, and the private sector to develop opportunities for foster youth. It also creates an online hub to connect foster youth with career and educational resources. Melania Trump calls the effort “both empathetic and strategic.” The broader “Fostering the Future” initiative offers scholarships to current and former foster youth and was launched in 2021.
