Getting Ready
is a monthly publication aimed at preparing teens for independent living.
Written in peer language, Getting Ready
features real-life stories told
by teens in the nation’s foster care and juvenile justice systems, with
eye-catching artwork, cartoons, photo essays and reader-written poetry.
Getting Ready is full of information about
jobs, housing, legal issues, transportation, consumer skills, money
management, social skills, and parenting.
And, it's fun to read. 
Over 15,000 teens subscribe to Getting Ready--teens in independent
living programs, job training programs, group homes, juvenile justice
facilities, gang and dropout prevention programs, life skills classes,
at-risk and high school completion programs. 
Because of its reputation for straight talk about real issues facing youth, Getting Ready has become the nation’s leading independent living publication. Hundreds of federal and state agencies consider it the most affordable and effective service they provide their youth. Adults working with youth use Getting Ready to facilitate life skills classes and enhance existing curriculum. |
