Vermont Youth in Transition Grant
Bridging gaps for young adults in Vermont
Welcome to the Youth in Transition Grant
Through the Vermont Department of Mental Health
The goal of this six year project is to improve the system of care for Vermont's transition-aged youth and young adults (16 through 21) so that they have adequate preparation and the necessary supports to be productively engaged in the community and free from incarceration.
Vision
Young adults in Vermont are empowered, healthy, valued, and engaged in their communities.
Mission
Young adults, families/adult allies and community partners collaborate to develop a system of care to support transition to adulthood. The system builds upon the strengths of young adults and creates an array of specialized mental health and related services to meet their unique and changing needs. The system also fosters young adult leadership.
