Youth In Transition

Were you a Crown Ward or involved with Family and Children’s Services before your 18th birthday? Are you part of the Ready, Set, Go program through Family and Children’s Service? The Youth in Transition program can help qualifying youth connect with community services as they transition into adulthood.

This program is designed to provide supports to youth aged 16-24 inclusive, who are gaining independence and moving into adulthood, who have left or are leaving the care of Family and Children’s Services.

We can make referrals and set up supports around:

• Housing
• Education
• Employment Services
• Life Skills and Healthy Relationships
• Money Management
• Health and Mental Health Services
• Legal Services
• Goal Setting and Reaching Youth Potential
• System Navigation and Service referrals

We are available for one-to-one interactions, and can support in person, email, Facebook, phone or in a community setting. Group Workshops are also available.
