Empowering Foster Youth to Build a Bright Future
Our programs are designed to address the critical needs of
aged-out foster youth, helping them transition into independent adulthood. Each program is tailored to provide stability,
skill-building, and a sense of belonging.
HOUSING
A safe, fully furnished apartment is the foundation for success. AcademySTAY offers housing for youth aged 18–24, giving them a stable environment to focus on education and personal growth.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Our life skills classes prepare youth for the challenges of adulthood. From financial literacy and job readiness to academic support, we equip them with tools for independence.
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
We provide trauma-informed care, connecting students with mental health professionals and resources to ensure they feel supported and secure as they work toward their goals.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
Through peer connections, mentorship, and community events, we foster a sense of belonging and support that helps youth build lasting relationships and networks.
