Make Good’s Life Literacy Workshop series gives TAY and systems-impacted young people who are pursuing higher education the opportunity to develop critical life skills and access the tools they need to thrive. Grant funds will be used to hire professional facilitators who understand the TAY population to deliver information that is relevant and useful in a safe and nurturing space. These deserving young people, who are defying the odds, are valued and given the guidance to navigate career and college as they transition to adulthood.

Empower TAY: The Life Literacy Workshop Series
In LA County every year 3,000 young people age out of foster care and are left with minimal benefits and guidance. Outcomes are bleak. Only 50% graduate from high school and 1 in 5 will become un-housed after age 18. Our engaging 'life literacy' curriculum works with cohorts of TAY youth (16-27) providing compelling information on finances, nutrition, social/emotional and relevant topics. Workshops conclude with a free budget offsetting shopping experience where participants choose new clothing and critical essentials to boost self-esteem.
