Our Older Youth Services program provides youth age 16-23 with opportunities to gain skills required to live healthy, productive, and responsible lives as self-sufficient adults. The primary focus of the program is helping youth who are expected to turn 18 in foster care to develop successful adulthood skills and a plan for education, housing, and employment.
Jordan Otero was invited in January, 2024 to testify at the Work & Welfare Committee Hearing. Otero specifically spoke in support of youth aging out of the Foster Care System.
