Bold Step

Bold Step is a transitional living program that provides youth ages 18-21 with limited support. Nationally, over 500,000 children and youth live apart from their families in foster care or other settings because of abuse or neglect. Each year many of these children “age out of care systems” when they turn 18. However, they may not have the skills to make it on their own or a support network to rely on. This program uses federal Chaffee funds to help support these young people, connecting them to resources, and learning life skills. Chaffee funds are funds specified for foster youth who can benefit from assistance with independent living skills.

On My Own

An independent living program that offers assistance to young people between 16-19 years of age, who are currently in the custody of the Wyoming Department of Family Services. These are young adults who are court ordered to the program and are usually transitioning from foster care, group homes or treatment facilities. Each youth is assigned an individual worker who will provide one-on-one assistance, teaching independent living skills. These skills include:

• Social Development
• Educational/Vocational Development
• Physical Development & Self-Care
• Values Clarification
• Money Management
• Community Resources
