Partnerships are Key
Like most people moving towards independence, the young adults we serve have complex individual needs. However, many lack the traditional family supports available to other young adults into their twenties and beyond. LIFE Skills provides the missing supports our clients need including taking them to the doctor, helping them shop and budget, making sure they get to school, helping them open a bank account, encouraging them to graduate and challenging them to plan and save for the future.
Connecting our clients with the services and supports they need requires a wide range of partners. No one organization can do it all! Here are some of the many partners we work with:
