The Independent Living Skills program (ILS) is a county-funded program designed to prepare and assist current and former foster youth through their transition from the foster care system into independence. Our Case Managers are equipped with extensive training of best practices related to transition age youth, and our staff work collaboratively with other community resources in order to connect youth to services available. Our goal is to provide a strengths-based, individualized approach to assist youth in reaching their personal goals.
