Transitional Living Program - Child Link

The Child Link Transitional Living Program has been established with the goal of supplying young adult women, who will soon be aging out of the system, with the skills needed for self-sufficiency and independence. The program teaches resourcefulness through practical hands-on learning techniques emphasizing the development of educational, vocational, financial, domestic, and personal safety skills. The young women are first financially supported by Child Link, then they are encouraged to open bank accounts and support themselves.
