Y.A.I.L. Program

Helping at-risk youth to succeed

Who says youth are ready to live on their own at 18???

The Young Adult Independent Living (YAIL) program has been created due to the growing concern for youth ages 18-21 that aren’t ready to be on their own and still require the support to prepare them for independent living.

Making the transition from youth to adulthood can be challenging at the best of times. Teens facing adversities such as mental illness and disruptive home lives, however, are at far greater risk. By providing housing and support to young people, we help them make the transition to adulthood more manageable.

Who: Serves young adults who are unable to remain in the care of their families.

What: Provides housing and support from a resident worker and if transitioning from one of our group homes will have the continued support of that team

Where: Orleans, Ontario

Intake: Young adults must be referred to the program. They must have an open file with The Children’s Aid Society at the time of referral (Extended Care & Maintenance) must agree to work with the program.

When: Between the ages of 18 and 21
