The end result of the program is that students learn to solve problems and make decisions regarding work, living arrangements, health, money, transportation, and leisure. We include activities designed to improve self-esteem and social skills. Students ages range from 7 to 19 with the mode being 15.
Girls make up about one third of our students.
