The goals of Transition to Adult living is to provide youth assistance in transitioning from foster care to adult living through a private/public network of support, in order to promote their success. This assistance includes assessment, mentoring, self-esteem building, personal future planning, caregiver and family networking, basic life-skills training, housing, leisure skills, education, employment, on-the-job training, information and referral, crisis support, medical, mental health and limited financial assistance.

The Transition to Adult Living offers a safe way for youth to interact with other foster care youth as well as to connect with caring and responsible adults. Youth participating in the program have already demonstrated the forming of good, healthy relationships, developed higher self-esteem, and have had healthier lives. Some youth have even been able to safely stop using their psychotropic medications.

The program also provides the following key supports:

• Access to safe and affordable housing
• Employment at levels sufficient to cover basic needs
• A mentoring program to promote enduring and supportive relationships
• Training and education for career preparation
• Mental health and physical wellness
• Personal life skills training for successful transition to adulthood
• Training and support to foster parents to assist in healthy transitions for youth
• Youth are involved in all aspects of planning and implementation of services and support
