SCCSS - Youth in Transition

This program helps youth to develop skills for transitioning to adulthood and independent living with confidence and success.

When youth are discharged from care, usually at age 19, they are not always emotionally, educationally or financially ready.

Among the life skills that youth will learn is the ability to obtain and maintain housing, often a challenge due to the lack of suitable housing, and the unwillingness of landlords to rent to young tenants.

Youth get help to learn independent living skills while they work towards their need for a permanent family connection. Studies have shown that this two-pronged approach is more likely to help youth achieve self-sufficiency.

Contact us to register for this program. Referrals are required through MCFD. The program is free and confidential.

Youth Advisors will meet with youth at their school or at a location of their choice. Visits can also be arranged by appointment through the program contact at our Gibsons and Sechelt offices.
