At Ready for Life, we meet you where you are.

RFL supports former foster care youth in homelessness prevention, education and employment, and lifeline support networks. RFL is a welcoming environment where you can find basic needs like food and meal kits, and access to laundry and shower facilities; job connections and education assistance; caring support and a mentor; and a whole new sense of belonging. 

​​

Not in crisis? RFL provides more than just emergency support. We have an incredible number of services for former foster care youth in all stages of life, including employment readiness classes, career networking, GED support, housing connections, mentors, legal assistance, mental health counseling, healthcare and dental services, matched-savings programs, and so much more. 

​

Not sure where to even start? Call us! We will match you with a Program Specialist (who is also former foster care and knows what you've been through) who will help you form a support plan.

Ready for Life helped me the minute I arrived years ago. I was homeless and they got me a place to stay, got me a job, and food to eat. Every time I was hungry, I knew I could count on Ready for Life, and they taught me a lot of things.
