Youth In Transition Worker Program

The Youth in Transition Worker program is designed to encourage, support and coach individuals in their process of transitioning to adulthood. The YIT Worker assists in facilitating stronger access to services in the community, while building resiliency in moving forward as an adult. The program embraces a motivational coaching model and is highly centered on a one on one conversational meeting that empower youth in achieving their personal goals.
