RB21 Benchmarks

The Ready by 21 Benchmarks is a tool to help you with designing your Maryland Youth Transitional Plan. The benchmarks are only used for youth ages 14-21. The benchmarks are separated by age groups and categories which will assist you and/or your supportive adult/case worker in designing tasks and measuring outcomes for your successful transition out of foster care. The outcomes for achieving these benchmarks may be different for each person due to the your mental and physical capabilities. You and your adult supporter/caseworker should consider your abilities/strengths and skills that would allow you to achieve the benchmarks before determining the outcomes.
