Empower TAY: The Life Literacy Workshop Series
In LA County every year 3,000 young people age out of foster care and are left with minimal benefits and guidance. Outcomes are bleak. Only 50% graduate from high school and 1 in 5 will become un-housed after age 18. Our engaging 'life literacy' curriculum works with cohorts of TAY youth (16-27) providing compelling information on finances, nutrition, social/emotional and relevant topics. Workshops conclude with a free budget offsetting shopping experience where participants choose new clothing and critical essentials to boost self-esteem.
