Independent Living
 | You're growing up and getting older. You're spreading your wings and getting ready to fly. You're reaching your limits. You're figuring out what life means to you. And we're here to help you along your journey to independence and adulthood. Reaching independence gives you rights and responsibilities that you've never had before and both are a lot to deal with. Getting ready for independence can be a lot of work, but it can be fun as well. Are you getting ready to go to college? Let us help you by taking you on a campus tour, assisting with financial aid applications, and applying for college. Are you heading for the workforce? We'll help with the resumes and practice the job interview with you. Come make new friends. Learn more about what's waiting for you in the real world. Pick up some helpful skills before you're on your own.
The Independent Living Program is a locally administered program for foster children and other at risk youth in Franklin County. Participants are identified by their social workers or case workers and referred for the services. The program is open to youth 14 to 21. The program includes trainings, mailings, and one-on-one services to assist youth in planning for their futures and becoming successful adults.
The program is a partnership between the Franklin County Department of Social Services, The Franklin County CSA Office, and the Children's Advocacy Programs of the Blue Ridge.
