Youth Success Stories

Every young person has a story and many of those stories are filled with strength, growth, and resilience.

In this section, we celebrate the journeys of youth who have faced challenges and came out stronger. From overcoming obstacles to reaching personal goals, these success stories are a reminder that change is possible, and you’re never alone on the path to a better future.

Be inspired. Be encouraged. Your story could be next.

Our Youth

"Participating in ILP was the best choice I’ve made for myself. The program assisted me in completing phlebotomy classes and my driver's license. I have a full-time job, a car, and I just moved into my very first apartment on my own. I didn’t have to do it alone because ILP was there to guide me. I’m so thankful to have my ILP worker, Shannon, in my life. I probably would be back on the streets had I not had someone there for me in the way she has been. Shannon has been a big support for me when others in my life walked out. She believes in me and has held my hand through my setbacks and encouraged me to continue moving forward. I only hope other youth coming from the foster care system can see the value in this program and can gain support through the difficulty of navigating adulthood".
