This toolkit was developed to provide practical guidance to volunteers to assist youth in developing connections to family and community that will support their transition to independent living. Following a brief overview of statistics and the challenges that youth face, the toolkit offers several activities and worksheets designed for volunteers to assist youth in the process of envisioning and planning for various aspects of their lives, including: cultural and personal identity formation, supportive relationships and community connections, physical and mental health, life skills and education, and employment and housing.
