Futures Forward is a collaboration of three organizations which aim to reduce barriers young people exiting Child and Family Services (CFS) in Manitoba face as they transition into adulthood between the ages of 15-29 years old. The Futures Forward collaborative includes Youth Employment Services Manitoba, Community Financial Counselling Services and Canadian Mental Health Association. Together youth receive support in:

​

• Financial counselling support, such as free tax filing services, budgeting help, and financial planning

• Education planning, such as help career planning, applying to post-secondary school, finishing high school, and making a funding plan

• Finding a job, such as help writing resumes and cover letters, practicing interview skills, and job searching

• Access to mental health counselling

• Navigating systems such as CFS, health, and benefit applications
