Car Savings
Transportation is the #1 need for our young adults to be successful!
Our young adults are all struggling to regularly attend work or school due to lack of reliable transportation. Most do not have a permit or driver’s license. Our case workers work with them to attend driver’s education courses and practice driving to obtain their license.
While in our program, case managers will assist with transportation for work or school, and we help our young adults begin saving money towards purchasing their own vehicles and learning all that goes into car ownership.
Through a generous donor, we have been able to launch our program which will provide funds that are able to be earned by our young adults to be used towards car purchases. This is proving to be a significant motivator for our young adults just knowing they are not on their own. Money is earned by accomplishing goals, regularly saving money from paychecks, attending work and school regularly and attending life skills classes.
Through our car savings program and partnerships with area agencies, our young adults are able to earn up to $3,500 towards the purchase of their first vehicle!! This is such a huge help for these kids who do not have support from their families in purchasing a car.
