Pathway Program is a division of Foster Closet helping teens and young adults who are aging out of the foster care system. Pathway is a free resources to assists teens and young adults aging out of foster care with anything they need for their new home. Remember these teens have nothing, but deserve the best we can provide. Although the state of FL does give them a monthly stipend, all the money goes to apartment deposit- first and last month’s rent, electric/water deposit, getting a cell phone, and so much more. When we began Pathway and heard of the plight of the IL (Independent Living ) and Extended Foster Care, devision of foster care, we knew we had to step up to give our free resource and volunteer’s time to deliver. We ask that you give your very best. We are unable to take items in need of repairs, scratches, stains or rips. Thank you for thinking of the teens moving out on their own.
