Youth In Transition
According to statistics, “Most youth who leave the foster care system do not receive adequate preparation and support for their transition to independent living. Compared to other youth, foster youth are more likely to experience homelessness, incarceration, unemployment, and a lack of essential skills. They are also more likely to face physical, developmental, behavioral, and mental health challenges” (NGA Center for Best Practices.
Our Youth in Transition program offers life skills training, education, and comprehensive assistance to youth aged 13 to 23 who have been in foster care or are transitioning from the foster care system.
Our transition to independence program includes a thorough assessment to better understand the needs and strengths of youth.
