Leaving care is a major life transition, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
The Youth in Transition program connects young people ages 16–24 in Sudbury with a dedicated Youth in Transition Worker who will help you create a personalized plan based on your goals and needs. Whether you’re looking for stable housing, a family doctor, a path back to school, or your first steps into the workforce, we’re here to help you get there.
