| Types of Collaborations Present with Local Community Resources |
several providers coduct on-site workshops (coolig budgeting), mental health services provided on-site by local community agency. Referrals are regularly made to meet comprehensive need of youth. |
| Aspect of Program that is Innovative or Unique |
We recieve dontated vehicles and provide these to youth who have licenses and are ready for that responsibility. We provide incentives (prizes) to recognize certain accomplishments. |
| Program's Biggest Challenge |
Uncertainty and insufficient funding. It would be helpful if we could accept foster care youth while they are on trial discharge rather than waiting for them to leave care, end up homeless, and then come to us. |
