Youth in Transition empowers youth by providing them with practical legal knowledge presented through interactive lessons that promote cooperative learning, critical thinking, and the development of life skills. The lessons focus on practical, relevant topics:
In 2011, Allstate’s Chicago-based staff counsel implemented a seven-week Youth in Transition program at Lawrence Hall, a residential foster care facility in Chicago. Volunteer attorneys worked directly with the youths at Lawrence Hall to determine the topics that would be taught. Then teams of attorneys taught weekly, 90-minute sessions on employment, housing, and consumer law.
Street Law staff provided training and lesson plans and connected the Allstate attorneys with the foster care facility.

The Youth in Transition lesson plans were developed with funding from the National Resource Center for Youth Services.
