A Native Pathway to Adulthood

A Native Pathway to Adulthood is a competency-based curriculum designed to enhance the skills of tribal and state workers in facilitating the transition of older Native American youth from out-of-home care to adulthood. The curriculum also encourages collaboration between tribes and public agencies to insure that culturally relevant transition services are provided.

The curriculum consists of two pieces. One is a two-day curriculum designed to strengthen intervention skills for tribal and non-tribal workers who work with older tribal youth who are transitioning from out-of-home care. Second is a three-day trainer certification course that also provides instruction in how to train others, practice in delivery of the curriculum and group feedback on training methods.
