We will help prepare them for adult living by assisting them to achieve proper Identification, fill in and submit Housing Applications, and open Bank Accounts. We will also establish and coordinate an Immediate Community Action Round Table of service providers in Bawaating for youth about to age out. We will amplify the voice of youth aging out of care by creating a short informercial called “I don’t know where I’m gunna live.”
