Stepping Stones

This program is for residents, 17 to 21, who are still in high school. In this program it is recognized that they have made enough progress toward independence to live with minimal supervision. Residents have jobs, on campus and off campus, and some have their own transportation. Stepping Stones helps young adults move towards independence and in helping them make decisions that lead to being fully on their own. The major goal is to alter future outcomes for students who have experienced years of foster care by extending a safety net of nurturing, care assistance with housing, enrollment in post secondary education, finding a job, coaching in personal finances, church attendance, healthy adult relationships, car ownership, access to continued healthcare and continued therapy.
