The Youth Transition Funders Group

Chris Sturgis serves as co-chair of the YTFG, which is a collaboration of 40 foundations all devoted to issues faced by older youth (ages 14-24). Her early leadership of the YTFG helped craft its mission to assist vulnerable youth make successful transitions to adulthood.
