Many youth enter and exit foster care each year for reasons such as abuse and neglect. During their stay in foster care, they experience differences from their home of origin. These differences include a safe environment from abuse and neglect and a more stable living setting. They also experience having to set goals in a permanency plan for exiting care. While in foster care as they prepare to age out, the foster care system offers trainings in independent living skills. This is done in an effort to prepare them to live independently upon leaving foster care. The goal of this study was to find out from the foster youth who or what prepared them to live independently. This study did not limit the information to their time in foster care only; it included their experiences while not in foster care as well as in transitional services. As this study sought positive information from former foster youth, Appreciative Inquiry is the chosen methodology. Appreciative Inquiry focuses on the positive aspects instead of the negative in order to find what does work and continues with that path (Cooperrider & Whitney, 2005). This is how the study differs: it focuses on the positive whereas previous research had trended toward negative outcomes (Pew Charitable Trusts, 2007). This study found that skills were learned both in the participants home of origin as well as foster care. The participants learned from observing others in their environment, which reflects Social Learning Theory. The caseworkers were also one of the strongest supports the participants in this study reported.
