Foster Youth Life
Investment Partners CAN HELP YOU
Self-empowerment is our goal for each young adult who benefits from the Foster Youth Life Investment Partnership.
The young adult must be working, going to school or actively seeking employment.
FYLIP will assist with life necessities, including, but not limited to, financial aid to prevent homelessness and unemployment. The young adult must provide an explanation why the assistance is needed, along with a working budget of income and expenses.
