These services are provided to youth who are in foster care, or have left foster care and are between the ages of 13 and 21. The agency is required to provide LINKS services to youth ages 16 and over and who will most likely have to live on their own after they leave foster care. Assessments include their need for training in life skills such as budgeting, getting and maintaining employment, apartment hunting and other needed skills. Training is provided for them in any needed areas to best equip them to successfully live on their own and to hopefully to ensure that they will be able to maintain successful lives for themselves and their families.
