Youth in Transition was developed with funding from the National Resource Center for Youth Services.
Street Law partnered with the Chicago Staff Counsel and Allstate Company in Chicago to implement a seven-week Youth in Transition program with volunteers from across the company teaching lessons and life skills to young people in Lawrence Hall, a residential foster care facility in Chicago. Street Law staff trained the Chicago staff counsel attorneys and volunteers from the Allstate law department that visited the facility and taught 90-minutes sessions once or twice a week on topics employment, housing, and consumer law. The partnership between Street Law and Lawrence hall was a “smashing success” the young adults were extremely engaged. Lawrence Hall has expressed great interest in continuing the initiative in the year 2012.
