Exodus Partnership

Recognizing that one agency alone cannot fulfill the tremendous needs of young adults who no longer receive services through the juvenile justice and foster care systems, EGA has established a comprehensive collaboration of community-based agencies known as the Exodus Partnership. EGA offers a single point of entry for participants to access the variety of necessary services in the most coordinated manner.

EGA staff and members of the Exodus Partnership provide an array of services needed by residents including case management; individual counseling and peer support groups; life skills training such as tenant and career counseling; employment and job training referrals; parenting skills training/workshops; childcare referrals; pregnancy prevention counseling; continuing education programs, tutoring and mentoring; medical and mental health referrals; substance abuse counseling and referrals; family reunification like children of single parents reuniting with absent parent; legal assistance; and emergency food, clothing, medical, and rent funds. The Exodus Partnership consists of the following organizations:
