Youth Services
The Life Launch program equips teen and young adult foster youth with the knowledge, motivation, and support necessary for them to thrive and succeed for years to come. As youth explore, prepare and transition from foster care to young adult life they receive one-on-one individualized support in 5 key focus areas:
- Post-secondary planning and success
- Financial capability
- Employment
- Independent living
- Help-seeking / soft skills

The Launchpad
Eligible foster youth living in our homes can apply for our transitional housing program where they pay rent (which is reimbursed upon exiting the program), explore career options through further education and/or employment, and learn independent living skills with the continued support of the Life Launch program and the Angels’ Arms family.
