Youth-in-Transition Worker Program
The goal of the Youth-in-Transition Worker (YITW) program is to support youth in their successful transition out of the child welfare system into adulthood. YITWs will help youth to develop their goals and plans, and will support youth to identify, access, and navigate adult service systems relevant to their specific and individualized needs in order to pursue their goals. The YITWs will also support youth to connect to existing supports and resources within their communities including, housing supports, education resources, employment services and training, life skills training (e.g. financial management, household management), health and mental health services, and legal services.
