All youth face major life decisions between the ages of 17 and 24. When young people have grown up in foster care or residential programs, without strong family or community support, and with emotional, behavioral, or substance abuse problems, they may also face challenges of homelessness, hopelessness, depression and prison.

Tempo addresses the urgent need for services for youth at the critical point of transition into adulthood. Tempo’s diverse staff use a youth-centered planning process to help young adults develop goals, provide the tools they need, and walk with them through the steps to their goals.

Tempo also offers parent support groups.
