The St. Louis-Area Aging Out Initiative
Funded by LIFP, the aging out program was designed to assist youth leaving foster care to become strong, self-sufficient adults through self-advocacy, education, and skills attainment. The Aging Out Initiative will establish a single-source, central “hub” where foster care youth can learn about various resources available to them after they leave state custody. The centralized network will enable youth to obtain guidance and support to enhance self-advocacy and independent living skills, learn how to live healthier lifestyles, and improve education and employment opportunities.
