Young Adult Job Placement Program

Upon completion of our Life Launch Program, foster youth will have the opportunity to intern with one of our job placement partners. This hands-on experience allows them to apply the skills they’ve acquired in a real-world work environment. Foster youth gain practical experience, develop essential workplace skills, and build their confidence and competence, taking concrete steps to address a critical issue—foster youth employment and homelessness prevention.
