GROWING AND PREPARING 
YTIA has created a tool-kit  given to young adults who want to "be on their own" and/or who are preparing to leave care.  This  G.A.P.  Tool-Kit is given out at youth events but may also be requested by sending us a "contact" or by calling us at (210) 256-1888.  
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 !
SELF ADVOCACY TRAINING

You have a voice - Use It!
