Opportunity Passport™ prepares youth ages 14-26 currently in or leaving foster care for independent adulthood through financial education paired with a matched-savings program. Youth with the fewest supports and highest level of need, including pregnant and parenting teens, have the highest rate of savings and matches.

The vision of the MET program is to provide young adults who have experienced foster care with the skills, connections, and opportunities to succeed in the workforce through high-demand IT and technical apprenticeships.

Teen Parent Connection employs professional Life Coaches to provide parenting and life skills education, including financial/household management, educational and employment assistance, and mentoring to pregnant and parenting teens in care.

The MET program is also able to support alumni of foster care between ages 18-24 experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, offering youth a varied mix of supports dependent on their needs for 6-12 months via the MET Housing program.

The holistic program model also includes education, advocacy, employment opportunities, emergency assistance, and ongoing connections to a community of support to promote long-term stability.
