The Transition Program supports Indigenous youth ages 16 to 19 who are leaving the care of the Ministry of Children & Family Development (MCFD) and preparing for independence.
Transition Workers build relationships rooted in trust and respect, working alongside youth to define their goals and explore what independence looks like — from housing and employment to cultural connection, wellness, and education.
How We Can Support You
- One-to-one support focused on the goals you’ve set for yourself
- Help with MCFD processes, including access to SAJE (Strengthening Abilities and Journeys of Empowerment) funding for housing, tuition, childcare, and health care
- Reconnecting with family, community, and culture through ceremony and time with Elders
- Support through crisis, health and wellness info, and learning life skills for independence
How to Connect with the Aboriginal Transition Team
This program is for Indigenous youth ages 16 to 19 with an open MCFD file. Referrals must come from an MCFD or VACFSS Social Worker or Probation Officer.
