Preparation for Adult Living (PAL) Program

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) offers the Preparation for Adult Living (PAL) Program to support youth in foster care as they transition into adulthood. The program provides comprehensive life skills training, educational assistance, career planning, and transitional services. Its goal is to equip young adults with the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to live independently, pursue higher education or employment, and build a stable, self-sufficient future after leaving care.
