Despite emerging supports, states are struggling to meet the needs of older foster youth, and many teens, not seeing any advantage to staying in care, voluntarily “age out” at 18 or after high school graduation even though very few of them are capable of establishing a successful independent life without family or community support.
To help youth prepare for life after foster care, YTIA has created the G.A.P. Tool-Kit
To help youth prepare for life after foster care, YTIA has created the G.A.P. Tool-Kit
This publication is used by youths to create a vision of their future. Workshops on the use of this Tool-Kit are being taught on an individual or group basis. We are also very proud to be sharing the Tool-Kit with caseworkers.
The Tool-Kit does not take the place of the Circle of Support meeting (wherein a youth discusses his/her future) but provides a means by which the youth's desires and ideas are brought into focus before attending meetings and to put into writing their goals and plans..
The "Tool-Kit" is undergoing a revision and will be out very soon!
