“It might sound like a pretty basic list: finishing high school or earning a GED; applying for scholarships and starting college; finding and maintaining suitable housing; finding and maintaining employment; applying for medical insurance; learning essential financial skills, and building and maintaining healthy relationships.
That’s not even the complete list. And notice, it’s already long.
Everything on that list, and more, is central to the Youth Villages LifeSet program and the effort to help young adults transition to adulthood coming out of difficult situations – everything from aging out of long-term foster care to having been in the juvenile justice system.”
