What We Do
The Life Skills Program provides life skill lessons to adolescents 14-21, who have an open case with the child welfare system, even if the reside with their biological parents, are in resource homes or living independently.
The Life Skills Program is designed to promote well-being and independence. Youth are provided with the opportunity to choose the life skills lessons they take part in- empowering them to make decisions about what is meaningful and important to them. Hands-on, interactive, and creative sessions are coordinated and scheduled for the youth's convenience.
