Preparing Young People for Life Beyond Care

What happens when a young person leaves residential or foster care and suddenly faces adulthood on their own?

OCTI’s Integrated Transition Program is designed to help caregivers, leaders, and organizations prepare young people for that critical transition—before the day comes.

Beginning around age 14, transition planning should become an intentional part of care. This practical training provides a four-phase approach to helping young people develop the skills, confidence, relationships, and plans they need for greater independence.

Participants will explore practical strategies for:

• Identifying strengths, interests, and future goals
• Building essential independent living and decision-making skills
• Preparing for education, employment, and vocational opportunities
• Developing healthy relationships and support networks
• Creating an individualized transition plan
• Moving from simply “aging out” to moving forward with purpose

Our responsibility is more than caring for children while they are with us. We must prepare them for the day they leave us.

Join Marco Aldana and Alice Sweet for OCTI’s Integrated Transition Program and discover how intentional preparation can help young people move toward adulthood with hope, skills, connection, and a plan for the future.

Invest in their future today. How to join the SKOOL is in the comments.

Safe in His Care
“Whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” — Proverbs 1:33
As caregivers, we often carry heavy burdens. We worry about children who have experienced trauma, difficult behaviors, limited resources, and an uncertain future. Yet God reminds us that while we cannot control every circumstance, we can trust the One who does.
God faithfully cared for Elijah during a famine and protected His people even in the darkest times. He is still the same faithful God today. When you feel overwhelmed, remember that the children in your care—and you—are safely held in His hands.
Listen for His wisdom each day. Let His Word quiet your fears and guide your decisions. Your peace becomes a powerful gift to the children you serve, showing them what it looks like to trust God in every season.
Prayer: Lord, help me care for others from a place of peace instead of fear. Fill my heart with Your wisdom, strengthen me for today’s challenges, and remind me that You are faithfully caring for both me and the children You have entrusted to my care. Amen.
