“The phone program provides youth with a cell phone and service to maintain consistent communication with their mentors, family members, and friends and make it easy to access local resources. The cell phones also allow youth to apply for employment, find correct bus lines and locate services to help with legal, medical, educational and emergency services. Via semester bus passes are provided to youth and young adults who lack reliable transportation. Few foster youth own cars, and therfore rely on public transportation to get to work, school and appointments.”
