they build bridges.

Crisis Stabilization

Day 1 at Ready for Life usually focuses on helping young adults get back on their feet and stay there. From providing laundry and a shower in our Day Stop to food, new clothing, and housing support, our goal is to help young adults meet their basic needs so they can focus on the future.

Lifeline & Support Services

You can be that “one person who cares." Mentors are life-changing for former foster care young adults. As a mentor in our Be the One program, you help brainstorm solutions, explore new possibilities, and provide the consistency young adults need to be successfully independent.

Life Skills & Learning Gaps

Former foster care young adults have big goals for their education and careers. As a volunteer at Ready for Life, you can help young adults learn the skills they need to further their education or land a job, including being accountable and setting goals that will shape their future.
