Transitioning out of foster care can be challenging, especially when you’re alone. We want to make sure that foster children have resources, skills and support needed to succeed in their new journey of life to make these next steps of their lives easier.

Our Thrive program is aimed to help foster youth transition into adulthood. We help youth create a transition plan, and teach employability skills, as well as life skills to help prepare youth for their future. We are here to help lay the foundation for success in the next chapter of their lives.

Transitioning into adulthood brings challenges for every young person. Those challenges increase dramatically for young adults who age out of foster care with few resources and without a strong support system A Step Together helps youth successfully transition from foster care to self-sufficiency and independence by providing support, education planning, and mentorship through our Thrive Program.

Some things our program offers:

• Life skills development opportunities

• Preparing youth for life after foster care

• Establishing and maintaining beneficial relationships

• Learning the importance of Financial literacy and stability

• Mentoring and permanent connections to caring adults

• College and career plan advisement

• A safe place to talk with mentors and peers during and after their transition.

And much more!
