You have a voice - Use It!
You need to be able to express yourself and advocate for yourself. YTIA conducts workshops that allows you to gain the skills you need to speak up for yourself.  To schedule a workshop contact us at ytia2009@gmail.com. 

PLANNING AHEAD IN SPITE OF COVID 19

COVID-19 is REAL and we need to learn to adapt to the new "normal." Things have changed but you still need to be prepared to enter into the REAL world.  Therefore YTIA offers all of it's workshops virtually - either by Zoom or FaceTime.

YTIA workshops cater to the particular need of  youths.  If you would like to increase your skills in a particular area, contact us and we can create a workshop just for you.​
Think about it: You will not be in foster care forever.  You need to decide if you want to "age out"  or "transition out" of foster care.  There is a difference and our workshops will help!
