ChildNet's Independent Living Services help young adults who are in foster care and former foster children to successfully manage adult responsibilities. The program is specially designed for youths in foster care ages 13-17 and young adults formerly in foster care ages 18-23. This highly specialized service aims to ensure a smooth transition to self sufficiency for our young adults. Independent Living offers our teenagers ages 13-17 life skills training, career preparation, educational support and financial assistance. Our unique program provides former foster care youths a broad array of short term services including but not limited to financial assistance to participate in educational and vocational training, employment services and financial assistance to secure housing. Foster teens are assigned an Independent Living Specialist to assist with attaining services. As our teenagers grow into adulthood, we work to provide them with the skills and resources they need to excel.
