Young people are also encouraged to access our drop-in center at 301 West Figueroa for basic needs assistance and help with short and long term goal development.

Transitional Age Youth (TAY):
Our staff works directly with youth between the ages of 16-24 who are dealing with issues related to self-sufficiency, independence, and development of personal potential.
