Independent Living Skills Program
The ILS Program is a voluntary program designed to assist youth in transitioning from
the foster care system. All California counties are mandated to provide some form of
Independent Living Skills services. Youth who have been in foster care after their
16th birthday are eligible for ILS services until the day before their 21st birthday.
Youth are referred to the program by their Social Worker or Probation Officer. Humboldt County’s ILS Program offers three types of services: workshops, special
events and individual services. To encourage participation, the ILS Program provides incentives for participating in workshops. For more information about Humboldt
County's ILS Program, call Zachary at 707-599-8633.

Humboldt County Transition-Age
Youth Collaboration (HCTAYC)
HCTAYC seeks to improve services youth receive as they transition to adulthood. HCTAYC believes that because young people
are experts in the systems that impact them, this expertise is vital
in system transformation. HCTAYC helps build skills in the areas
of youth development, policy change, youth advocacy, community
engagement and wellness. HCTAYC provides training related to
engaging youth and developing youth-informed approaches.
For information, call: Raena West at
707-268-2987.
California Youth Connection (CYC)
CYC is a youth-led organization that develops youth
leaders who empower each other and their communities
to transform the foster care system through legislative
and policy change. It is open to current and former foster youth ages 14 to 24. If you are interested in applying
for the CYC, call Zachary at 707-599-8633.
