Transition to Adult Living

Youth who will age out of foster care are participants of the Transition to Adult Living program, a service of the Division of Child and Family Resources. Transition to Adult Living works with the Mentor Project to recruit and select youth who are interested in having a mentor.

We work together to serve youth in foster care and help provide resources to solve problems that youth may have after foster care.
 

Youth volunteer to participate in the Mentor Project; they are not compelled or court ordered. By cooperating with case workers, foster families, and service providers youth can have a spectrum of support that continues even after they are released from state custody.

Churches

Local faith-based organizations support the Mentor Project by sponsoring and recruiting mentor groups, hosting activities, initiating services, and cooperating to develop unique programs.

The Mentor Project’s major church partnerships include: First Presbyterian Church, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, and Wasatch Presbyterian Church.
 

Additional churches and charity organizations are invited to participate. Can your group or organization support mentoring?
