Young Adult Programs

HELPING OLDER CHILDREN BUILD INDEPENDENT LIVES

The transition to adulthood can be difficult to navigate, especially for youth in their late teens or early 20s who have spent most of their lives in state care.

When these young adults “age out” of the system, they can fall victim to homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, early pregnancy, substance abuse and other hardships, and they are less likely to earn a college degree or hold a steady job than their peers.

At The Home, we provide a bridge to better, brighter futures and work strategically to advocate for and give visibility to this forgotten age group. Our young adult programs provide safe, stable environments where youth can think beyond immediate challenges, like finding a meal or a place to sleep, and begin to build independent lives.

Every young adult has the right to envision a hopeful future; we help them get there by supporting them with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
