INTO THE WORLD

Into the World: A Life Book was written for youth who are transitioning from the foster care system to living independently (youth can "age out" of care between the ages of 18 and 21). It's meant to provide general guidance on independent living - like finding and keeping a home, getting a job, managing your money - and also specific information on where to go to get more help if you need it.

The online version of Into the World: A Life Book, is set up just like the book with the chapter headings along the top aimed to help you better navigate the site. Shortcuts to popular topic areas are located on the bottom of the screen for easy access and review.
