“Passages”

Creating new images for today’s youth

A Project of

Youth Oasis and the Baton Rouge Alliance for Transitional Living, Inc.

Helping Homeless and Runaway Youth Reach a Brighter Future

The goals of Passages include:

· To provide a safe, stable living environment for young adults who may not otherwise have such accommodations.

· To provide youth services that will enable them to develop the necessary independent living skills and personal characteristics with which they are more likely to become able to live independently.

· To provide youth with access to community services and resources that will enhance their ability to live independently.

· To reduce the incidence of current or former foster care youth becoming or remaining homeless.

· To provide services and opportunities to youth that are not yet homeless but are at risk for becoming homeless.
