Independent Living for Young Adults - ILYA

Independent Living for Young Adults - ILYA We offer a number of programs to assist young adults that have aged out of the foster care system. Please view more information to learn how you can help!

In Delaware, young people age out of foster care at age 18 or upon graduation from high school. They enter the adult world often with an extended history of no stability, little trust in “the system” and people in general and few skills that support them being fully independent. Having been told where and with whom to live (often experiencing many changes) and what to do with little opportunity to

make the decisions, many just want to be free of the system. But then what? With few resources, they set out alone into the adult world. But they aren’t alone. ILYA, a Social Justice Program of First Unitarian Church of Wilmington is here to help. Since 2005, support has been provided to help obtain and furnish housing, encourage and support further education, celebrate achievements and establish nurturing, caring connections. We welcome others that would like to help!
