Our Life Skills Portal is designed to support "aging out" and "Alumni" youth, and it is accessible nationally through our website.
The Portal has essential life skills and is crafted with tutorials and resources that offer guidance on a wide array of topics crucial to support these youth transitioning to adulthood and independence. Articles currently cover topics such as financial literacy, job preparation, health and wellness, and much more.
The best part about our portal is that most of our content is written "peer-to-peer". We would love to have your contribution, so please visit our Life Skills Portal to review articles that are currently already on the portal.
