  • Offer financial literacy programs to teach budgeting, saving, and smart financial decision-making.

Mentorship Programs:

  • Pair young adults with experienced mentors who can offer guidance, support, and encouragement.

  • Facilitate regular workshops and networking events to build a strong community and foster relationships.

Career Development:

  • Assist with job placement, resume building, and interview preparation.

  • Create partnerships with local businesses to offer internships and job opportunities.

Educational Assistance:

  • Support access to higher education through tuition assistance and academic counseling.

  • Provide resources for continuing education and vocational training.

Life Skills Training:

  • Conduct workshops on essential life skills, such as cooking, time management, and self-care.

Advocacy and Awareness:

  • Raise public awareness about the challenges faced by overage foster care young adults.
