"The Chafee program showed me consistency. My Chafee worker would check in with me regularly to see how I was doing. I also enjoyed going to Chafee events, where you can learn and socialize with other youth who are in a similar situation."
Former Chafee Youth
"Chafee has helped me from the time when I had nobody. I was not in my best shape mentally and they helped me get through school to graduate. They helped me to maintain my mental health and now I have my own apartment and I’m in college. My life has turned itself around from where I started. They showed me that even the worst beginnings can have the best endings."
