My First Couch

The purpose of My First Couch is to assist foster youths with transitioning into adulthood successfully. Our resource center provides a place for homeless and or aging foster teens to receive help with employment and educational needs. We have provided 12 teens with furniture and household needs for their first apartment. My First Couch teaches independent living skills, money management, daily living skills , social activities, and outside referrals. Our youths can come to the center to eat and network with others, look for housing, and attend our life coaching classes. Our future goal is to operate a transitional housing program where youths came stay for up to 24 months.
