Youth in Foster Care Learn What It Takes to Live Independently

Do you remember who taught you how to drive? How about who helped you get your first car? Unfortunately, many teens in intensive foster care don't have someone they can rely on to walk them through these key steps in becoming independent. They need all the support they can get, and we're happy to help them.
