Youth Transition
Between 2004 and 2009 the Youth Transition Action Teams Initiative (YTAT) collected and shared stories of promising practices implemented by organizations that support transitioning and former foster youth entering adulthood. These practices have come from a variety of geographic areas and serve a diverse range of young people. They are being carried out by organizations, agencies, and inter-disciplinary partnerships in child welfare, workforce development, education, civic and government bodies, and other community-based programs.
