About Our Programs
The research is clear and decisive regarding the types of services “aging out” youth need to break the cycle of the unsuccessful transition from foster care to living a productive, independent life. Mentoring and life skills training are consistently identified as a persistent need in the “aging out” community.
Old School 2 Nu Skool (OS2NS) will provide all program participants with access to a caring, trained mentor that will provide life skills training and coaching. The mentoring program will be established according to the: “Effective Strategies for Providing Quality Youth Mentoring in Schools and Communities: Foundations of Successful Youth Mentoring” guidebook.
