Our Pathway Youth Adulthood Training Program is a formal peer mentorship course that provides education on financial literacy, emotional intelligence, anti-recidivism, and functional adulthood skills. It is designed to serve at-promise systems-impacted LA youth ages 16 to 18, who are aging out of residential foster care and who are at direct risk of unemployment, homelessness, and recidivism upon leaving their facility. Our curriculum addresses the often-overlooked role of economic instability as a primary driver of recidivism and homelessness.
