At SCYAP, we are committed to providing safe and reliable transportation for youth and families.
At the South Carolina Youth Advocate Program (SCYAP), we understand how important transportation is for families and youth involved in the foster care and mental health systems. That’s why we include transportation services as part of our comprehensive support system across South Carolina.
Why Transportation Matters
Many children and families need help getting to important appointments and services. SCYAP provides safe and reliable transportation for:
-
Therapy sessions
-
Court hearings
-
Family visits and reunification efforts
-
Pre-placement interviews or home visits
These rides help ensure that children can access the treatment and support they need while staying connected to their families and communities.
A Commitment to Safety, Respect, and Professionalism
We know that the children and families we serve may be going through difficult times. That’s why we train our drivers to be:
-
Professional and respectful
-
Skilled in verbal de-escalation techniques
-
Focused on the safety and comfort of all passengers
Our goal is to respond quickly to all referrals and complete every trip efficiently and accurately.
We offer transportation services statewide, and we can also arrange out-of-state transportation when needed.
Please note: All transportation services must be referred by a South Carolina government agency.

Community Based Services
Wraparound Services
WRAP services are therapeutic activities and treatment interventions provided to youth with behavioral health and other special needs. Services are implemented within the youth’s or family’s home or community and are facilitated by an assigned SCYAP Wrap Advocate who provides one-on-one services to the youth and/or to the family with support, supervision and guidance from SCYAP staff.
In-Home Family Services
In-Home Family Services are a combination of clinical and community-based services that come together to create an intensive and comprehensive program tailored to meet the needs of the youth and his or her family. Services are provided to families in their homes.
Transportation Services
At SCYAP, we recognize the importance of having transportation services as part of a comprehensive array of services available to youth and families so that they might access treatment and other needed/required services and to allow families to work toward reunification.
