Angelique Day has been appointed to the Center for the Study of Social Policy’s Expectant and Parenting Youth in Foster Care Learning Collective Peer Workgroup. The goal of the workgroup is to develop a national practice guide with recommendations for operationalizing sexual and reproductive health services targeted at this population.

Dr. Day has been named a content expert by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and will be working with an internal workgroup at the foundation to identify policy efforts the foundation could be undertaking in 2017 and beyond.

Dr. Day will be working with the Capacity Building Center for States, a project of the Children's Bureau, as an evaluation capacity building coach, and will be assisting jurisdictions to collect and use data that indicate the achievement of intensive project milestones and goals.
