Our first priority is foster youth. We want to provide foster children with all the resources and opportunities to excel in life. The Independence Center is a resource for foster youth aging out of the foster care system. We serve youth ages 14-25 through group workshops and individualized counseling. Our programs are customized to meet every child's need.
