Our Youth Development programs help young people ages 14 to 21 develop the personal resilience and social resources they need to thrive outside foster care. Our goal is to nurture teens’ strengths at this pivotal time. Forestdale youth workers hold weekly workshops on everything from home and money management to career development to healthy relationships. Teens also take part in an array of extracurricular activities, from studio arts to Afro-Cuban dance, which encourage development and self-expression.
