Toussaint Academy of the Arts and Sciences (TAAS) provides stable housing for homeless youth who are unable to reunify with their families and who are not currently in the foster care system. We help teens ages 14 to 18 with a continuum of supportive services including counseling, case management, educational support, life skills, employment, and more. We also have an aftercare program that provides college scholarships and other supportive services to our alumni up through age 24. Our goal is to help homeless youth finish high school, go on to college, and get the skills they need to be successful. We serve 100 youth each year through residential and aftercare services.
