Sacramento
The transition from adolescence to adulthood is always challenging, but for youth living in the foster-care system, it can be even more difficult.

When children turn 18, and must leave the safety and consistency of the foster-care environment, Volunteers of America provides a safe and nurturing option: the
LaVerne Adolfo Transitional Housing Program for Former Foster Youth.


Carson City, Nev.
Imagine suddenly being taken from your home and family by strangers ... in the middle of the night ... and you're only 4 years old. It may be for your own good, but at 4 you only know you're in an unfamiliar place surrounded by unfamiliar people.

Volunteers of America Greater Sacramento & Northern Nevada tries to minimize the trauma at its Children's Emergency Shelter in Carson City, Nev.

Every journey begins with a step. And, every step can begin a new journey.
