Preparing Youth for Adulthood
Our Preparing Youth for Adulthood Program helps train foster children from age 14 and up in the skills necessary to survive successfully in a complex world. To ensure that our youth can thrive independently, we provide coaching and workshops on a variety of real life situations: selecting a suitable job, job search, self care, human sexuality and family planning, budgeting, finding a place to live, and setting up. Developing these skills empowers teens to get and keep jobs, resolve issues with landlords, build a network of people to depend on, and believe they have the strength to meet life’s challenges
