Helping Youth Transition to Adulthood
๐ Turning 18 shouldnโt mean losing support.
Every year, dozens of young people in South Dakota โage outโ of the DSS guardianship program. Many still need guidance with health, housing, education, and life decisions โ but the stateโs support ends when they turn 18.
Dakota Guardianship steps in to provide continued guardianship and advocacy, helping these young adults build stable, independent lives.
๐ How you can help: Donate to ensure these kiddos don't get lost in our community!
Give today and ensure every young adult leaving DSS care has a trusted advocate by their side.
