Casey Family Services is committed to helping foster children make the transition to independent adulthood. A successful transition to independence is a challenge for any young person; for many foster children that challenge becomes nearly insurmountable when they are abruptly cut off from services or required to leave foster care at age 18 (or when they graduate from high school). We help foster children prepare for a successful transition and provide them with necessary support once they "age out" of the system. In most cases, the key elements of a successful transition are completing school, making plans for the future and finding an affordable place to live. Casey Family Services helps young adults make these and other critical short- and long-term decisions by providing a variety of services from tuition and housing assistance to counseling and training.
