North Dakota Youth Rise To The Occasion

Have you ever wondered what life will be like when you turn 18 years old? Where will you live? Will you go to college? Do you know how to cook dinner without burning it? Becoming an adult and living on your own can be an exciting but scary milestone. 

As we know, North Dakota youth are experts in telling us what they need most in order to prepare for living on their own. This website was designed by a large group of youth from North Dakota's Regional and State Independent Living Youth Advocacy Boards, who researched and collectively gathered the information that is here for you to view! This site is dedicated to all the youth of North Dakota and was created especially for youth who are involved in foster care, juvenile justice and mental health systems.
