Embark Georgia Center Next Step – Student Guidebook

The Next Step guidebook is a valuable resource designed to support students who have experienced foster care or homelessness as they navigate their educational and career paths. This guide provides practical tools and information to help students set goals, explore funding opportunities, and connect with campus support services including the Georgia Education and Training Voucher (ETV) Program.

Developed in collaboration with statewide professionals—including college Designated Points of Contact (DPOCs), Independent Living Specialists, and school liaisons—the Next Step guidebook offers students the guidance they need to make informed decisions about their futures.
