Serving Youth in Foster Care
Some are young while some are nearly adults. They come from rich families and poor families alike. And they represent all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. What all of these children have in common is the need for a safe, stable place to stay and the love and attention of a positive adult role model.
That’s where Boys & Girls Aid comes in. We offer these children individual attention through programs specific to their age and the challenges they are facing. Teens and young adults may be helped through Independent Living Services (ILS), Transitional Living Program (TLP), Safe Place, or The STEP program. Our foster parents care for these youth while they and their families get the help, support, and services they need to prepare for the child’s return.
