In LA County every year 3,000 young people age out of foster care and are left with minimal benefits and guidance. Outcomes are bleak. Only 50% graduate from high school and 1 in 5 will become un-housed after age 18. Our engaging 'life literacy' curriculum works with cohorts of TAY youth (16-27) providing compelling information on finances, nutrition, social/emotional and relevant topics. Workshops conclude with a free budget offsetting shopping experience where participants choose new clothing and critical essentials to boost self-esteem.
