Our Goal at Dreamcatcher Creation
Independent living for girls who have aged out of foster care is to provide them with the necessary support and resources to transition successfully into adulthood. We aim to ensure that every girl has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing. By offering educational and vocational training programs, we help these young women gain the skills and qualifications needed for stable employment. Additionally, we provide life skills training, including financial literacy, health and wellness, and personal development, to help them navigate adulthood successfully. We also strive to create a supportive community where these young women can build meaningful relationships and access ongoing mentorship and guidance. Lastly, we advocate for policies and programs that support the needs of young women aging out of foster care and promote their well-being and success.
