Youth Villages

Deontae is a Portland State student who was helped by Youth Villages with the transition to college after he aged out of the foster care system. Youth Villages has programs designed to prevent vulnerable youth from entering state systems, support those within them, and prepare those who are aging out of foster care for successful adulthood.
