Springboard is an innovative program that is designed to meet the needs of young adults ages 18-22 who are aging out of foster care or who are in danger of becoming homeless. These youth are at a critical point in their transition to full independence, and Springboard offers the support and tools they need. Springboard provides high quality, conveniently located, independent living arrangements. We supply real-world life skills training, tutoring, mentoring and therapeutic services that will help the young adults move to self-sufficiency. Springboard strives to make sure no young adult becomes a negative statistic. We provide the stepping stones they need to create their own positive, productive and independent life.
