Bridging the gap between system care and independent living

The transition to adulthood is challenging for any young person, but for youth who have experienced separation from siblings and family, this milestone can feel overwhelming and isolating. Many face this critical life phase feeling unprepared, disconnected, and uncertain about their future.


The JISU Experience recognizes that the impact of separation doesn't end when a young person reaches adulthood. That's why we provide comprehensive support for youth "aging out" of the foster care, kinship care, and adoption systems—ensuring they don't just survive this transition, but thrive in their new independence.

Who We Serve

Our Aging Out Services support young adults from age 14 to approximately 21 as they prepare for and navigate life beyond system care. We meet them where they are and walk alongside them as they build the foundation for successful, self-sufficient adulthood. 

Our Comprehensive Support System

Building on the connections and healing fostered at Camp JISU, our specialized programming addresses the unique developmental needs of emerging adults:


Foundation Building

  • Transition Planning: Personalized roadmaps for moving toward independence
  • Life Skills Development: Essential capabilities for daily living and self-care
  • Financial Management: Budgeting, banking, and money management education


Support & Guidance

  • Mentoring: Caring adult relationships that provide ongoing guidance and encouragement
  • Monitoring: Regular check-ins to ensure progress and address challenges early
  • Crisis Response: Immediate support when unexpected challenges arise


Growth & Connection

  • Education and Professional Development: Academic support and career readiness training
  • Housing Support: Assistance navigating housing options and maintaining stable living situations
  • Peer Support Groups: Connection with others who understand the unique challenges of aging out

Our Commitment

At The JISU Experience, we believe that every young adult deserves the chance to build a fulfilling, independent life. Our Aging Out Services don't just prepare youth for life after the system—we help them discover their strength, reconnect with their identity, and create the supportive community they need to flourish.


Because the end of system care should mark the beginning of limitless possibilities, not the start of struggle.
