"YTIA" pronounced "Ya-T-Uh" or "Y-T-Uh" Either way it means the same thing: Youth Transitioning Into Adulthood

From DEPENDENCE to INDEPENDENCE

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.  Proverbs 16:3

Don't resolve to do something in 2018. Commit to make a change in the life of a youth.

Help us to bridge the gap for youths leaving foster care.  We need to raise funds for our upcoming activities.

​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 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 simply age out of the system.
