Learn More & RegisterTransition to Adulthood is a full continuum of care for young women.
TTA, Transition to Adulthood, is G.L.O.W.'s program for young women ages 16 to 24 who are navigating the critical years between adolescence and independence. Whether finishing high school, exploring college, entering the workforce, or seeking stable housing, TTA meets each participant where she is and walks alongside her with structure, consistency, and real world support.
Our approach is trauma informed and community rooted. We combine peer groups, transitional housing, educational experiences, and one on one mentorship into a single, connected pathway. Participants do not just receive services, they build relationships, develop practical life skills, and grow the confidence to define their own futures.
Trauma Informed
Care grounded in safety, trust, and choice.
Mentorship Driven

College tours, financial aid, and academic support.
Stable Housing

Three Pillars of Growth
Our comprehensive approach ensures you have the support, stability, and vision to succeed. Each pillar can stand alone, but together they form a connected pathway from where you are now to where you want to be.

Connect with peers twice a month through one virtual and one in person session. Build community, share experiences, develop coping strategies, and grow together in a safe, facilitated space designed for young women navigating the transition into adulthood.
