High School Goal Weekend – that’s what the Department of Education, Agency for Children’s Services and New Yorkers for Children are calling an extra effort to give a leg-up in the high school admission process to kids in foster families. The weekend coincides with the High School Fair, September 29 and 30 at Brooklyn Technical High school, in Fort Greene.  AFCS is  seeking volunteers, 21 years of older, to guide 7^th and 8^th graders through the choice of high schools and the application process.
