Independence skills, on the phone they already use.
The Foundation teaches young people aging out of foster care how to live on their own — in thirteen modules they work through themselves. Coaches watch progress across the whole caseload. The outcome report writes itself.
What programs are working with today
Life skills instruction usually lives in a binder, a coach's memory, and a stack of paper notes. Case management software tracks compliance but not whether a young person actually learned anything. When a funder asks for evidence of progress, most programs can offer an anecdote.
13
Modules
Housing, money, employment, healthcare, documents, transportation, relationships, and more — sequenced, self-paced, and saved as youth go.

Coach view
Every young person on a caseload in one screen, with anyone who has stalled flagged before a month goes by.

Nights spent building the report
Pre- and post-assessment scores export as a funder-ready summary. No re-keying from paper.
Built for the way these programs actually run
Youth work through modules on their own phones, between shifts and school and everything else. Coaches meet them where the work already is. Case managers pull the numbers when the grant report comes due. Three views of the same record, so nobody re-enters anything.
Young people leaving foster care are expected to manage housing, work, health care, and money on their own — often within weeks of their eighteenth birthday. The skills are teachable. The teaching is what's inconsistent.
Now accepting pilot programs
The Foundation is opening a small number of pilot placements with transitional living facilities, foster care alumni organizations, and juvenile reentry programs. Pilot sites help shape the curriculum and receive their outcome data at no cost.
