Always hope
The app an amazing platform where you can get basically any answer to a question you have after exiting the foster system. From housing , education, mental health, employment, etc they have resources available, and if not it’s always easy to connect with people to ask. The community is beyond accepting and welcoming it really makes people who don’t normally fit in have a place to really be themselves. The creators of the app are also very supportive. Not only did they help me out with housing , they also gave me an internship opportunity and have helped me out with anything I needed along the way . It truly helped me when I was about to lose hope , and has given me the strength in myself to keep going .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Stepping Forward LA app has been an invaluable resource for personal and professional growth. The learning modules on topics like finance, employment, and housing are thorough, easy to navigate, and provide practical advice that’s directly applicable to real-life situations. I particularly appreciate the Financial Management and Employment modules, which helped me gain a better understanding of managing my finances and navigating the job market. The Housing Learning Series was especially useful as it gave me crucial information on housing options and assistance programs.
What makes this app stand out is how it tailors resources for young adults like me who are transitioning into the workforce or managing financial independence. It’s a one-stop platform that empowers users with knowledge and guidance, which is essential in building a stable future. I highly recommend the Stepping Forward LA app to anyone looking to take control of their career and housing journey!

Review
When using the Stepping Forward app, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I found the app easy to get around because it reminded me of other social media platforms. Within the app, they have different modules that can help you navigate questions that you’re asking. For example, let’s say you didn’t know how to make an appointment to take the DMV written test there’s a step-by-step video that explains what the how and it’s important to do it the right way. Although the app is still in development, you can still learn a lot and take away a lot through your transition into adulthood are made on an everyday basis of resources in the community that you or others might be interested in. there are also workshops. You can be a part of that can be in addition to your life such as high frequencies, self-care, how to budget and more. I believe this app is going to be extremely successful but it all depends on how you use it and what you want out of it.

This app helps so much
I am a foster kid at the moment and I have been interning with Stepping Forward for a little more then a month now. And I can say, everything in this app is beneficial for anyone or everyone. This app has helpful guides and lots of explanations to help you with what you need. There is an active Fred where you can post and see others' posts and comments. All being positive with information if needed. There is a learning series where that has many subjects with how to do steps and videos on important things in your life. We have job search help and apartment search help. All are beneficial to you and your needs. We have lots of people with support and help to make all this happen. This app helps with everyday needs, you can use this for motivation or just to learn things you have never been taught. Like how to get a job and how to go about it to do so. Overall I enjoy this app, this app helped me so much in my life and figuring things out. So thank you to everyone who is involved.

Stepping Foward LA
I absolutely love this app. Great resources and categories to pick from. Coming from all around LA county from former/current foster youth. As a former foster youth myself, I came across a lot of beneficial programs that helped me out more ways than I can explain. It helps support finding housing in your area, jobs and just outdoor activities to take your family too. What I really love about this app is their bedtime stories section. I read them to my youngest every night and she loves them. Good thing too, some of them are new to her & myself so that’s a plus. Another, is they always host workshops of various kinds and are pretty cool to attend. My favorites are the meditation and sound frequencies. There’s different options to choose from every week and ranges from money management, self-care, how to apply for FAFSA, and many more. Try it out . I guarantee you’ll feel apart of a community you can call family . 💚

This app is amazing. I really enjoy using it because it provides extensive support in areas like housing, job searching, food, clothing, and helplines. It serves as a comprehensive support system, offering valuable resources and spreading awareness. Having apps like this on our phones is important because they remind us that we’re not alone. Whenever we face challenges, we can use the app to seek help or find resources that can assist us in the long run.
