Is Your Child Ready for Independence?

For many teens and young adults, life after high school feels uncertain. The structured setup of classes, homework, and after-school activities suddenly changes into the dynamic and persistent demands of adulthood.

With more responsibility, more freedom, and more choices – successful young adults must navigate a whole new world all while learning who they are as individuals, how to set their own goals, and determining what their future will look like.

  • Reading and understanding a bill

  • Building quality leisure skills with peers
