I continue to find new resources for teens preparing to age out. The most recent resource that I have found is Foster Advocates Arizona (http://www.fosteringadvocatesarizona.org/) They have some great information and programs available to kids. Some other wonderful resources can be found at the following (please note this is not a complete list of services/resources available)

• Keys to Success – Help youth plan their futures with education, job, financial, and housing plans while connecting them with mentors. https://www.affcf.org/keys/referral/
• Arizona Children’s Association – designed for youth 16-21 transitioning out of foster care https://www.arizonaschildren.org/transitional-support/
• Jewish Family Services – offers programs for young adults 15-21 needing help preparing for their futures https://www.jfcsaz.org/programs-services/teens/transition-to-adulthood/
• Arizonans for Children- offers free interactive classes for youth 11-18 http://arizonansforchildren.org/page/financial-literacy-aging-out-programs
