First Place For Youth

Independent living skills program (ilsp) is offered to youth in san francisco and solano counties. Through ilsp, the organization provides a range of services, including education and employment assistance, career development, family finding and permanency services, life skills workshops and community events. First foundation is an educational support program that begins with high school sophomores who are willing to commit to the program through high school graduation. Throughout high school, the organization's staff members provide one-on-one support designed to help increase on-time high school graduation rates along with workshops on educational and social skills development.

The goal of the policy, practice & impact network is to create a group of providers across the country who use my first place to deliver strong outcomes for transition age youth and advocate for improved policies and supports for these youth in their local communities and at the federal level. First place provides affiliates in the network with deep technical assistance and support in the areas of program, fundraising and policy to implement the my first place model successfully.
