Stepping Confidently Into the Future

Explore and develop opportunities in the community for 16- to24-year-olds experiencing difficulties with the successful transition to adulthood.

 

why this matters to our community

The transition from adolescence to adulthood can be challenging, especially for young people navigating barriers such as housing instability, mental health struggles, or limited access to education and employment. OCOF’s focus on supporting 16- to 24-year-olds ensures that no young person is left behind.

By exploring and developing opportunities for skill-building, mentorship, and connection, we help young adults build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of purpose—turning possibility into reality.
