YTIA bridges that gap between foster care and the real world of adulthood.
Between foster care and the real world of adulthood there is a gap. A gap that leaves youth in the foster care system totally unprepared when they exit the system. YTIA bridges the gap from Dependence upon the foster care system to Independence by utilizing an innovative "real world" approach. Youth "aging out" of the foster care system need a support team they  can utilize and rely upon when they are "on their own." YTIA is that TEAM. Youth in the foster care system need to hear and face the truth about life after foster care. YTIA keeps it real.  YTIA seeks to identify youth who want to be prepared when it is time for them to exit the system, desire and are motivated to "make it on their own" and works with them to help ensure they understand what it takes to successfully transition into adulthood and not return to be part of the problem but to be part of the solution. 
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."             Philippians 4:13
Thought of the Week: "If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” – Maya Angelou
