Volunteers of America's Independent/Transitional Living program is made available through the support of the Chafee Independent Living Grant and the Wyoming Women’s Foundation Grant.
88 cents out of every dollar supports community services for people in need. Learn More.
The Volunteers of America staff offers personal mentorship, guidance in connecting with community resources, and direct financial aid to assist youth and young adults that have been involved with the foster care system, juvenile justice system, substance abuse treatment, or who are homeless. Alumni and current participants may be found working throughout our community, engaged in study at Sheridan College, and entering the professional workforce with advanced degrees. For some, it’s just a matter of getting started. We want to help make it happen.
The VOA was outstanding in regards to helping me with financing my education at MSU-Billings. I have chronic problems with being sick and I have a hard time working; so I help my mom with her Daycare and I took care of a little boy with autism this summer. It just wasn’t enough for what I needed so the money I was given to help with school supplies was a huge stress reliever. I am deeply thankful for all the help the VOA has given me and I hope they can continue to help teens in similar predicaments. Again thank you for all your help, consideration and care.
Sincerely,
Kimberely
