Youth will be engaged in learning and developing “soft” and “hard” independent

living skills and self-care skills.

Goals setting will include job search, following a budget, educational planning, home safety management, obtaining driver's license, and interviewing skills.  Mentoring programs will also be provided. 

Independent living placements will be offered through a variety of residential living arrangements where youth have the opportunity to practice independent living skills with decreasing degrees of care and supervision.
