Independent Living Program: Support for Foster Youth
The Independent Living Program (ILP) assists current and former foster youth aged 15-21 to develop independent living skills and achieve educational/vocational goals to successfully transition to self-sufficiency. ILP Coordinators provide counseling, support, and empowerment to youth in accessing resources and learning new skills.
ILP services include individualized assessments, one-on-one counseling, tutoring, and weekly workshops at Cabrillo College to provide training and information on a variety of skills including money management, personal health, finding independent housing, and obtaining financial aid for college.
