PAL LIFE – Skills Training
PAL LIFE - Skills Training
Preparation of Adult Living (PAL) is designed to teach current foster youth aged 16-18 the skills necessary to make it on their own. Some of those skills include getting a job, money management, renting an apartment/understanding a lease, applying for college, seeking financial aid for college, and preparing a meal. These are only a few of the skills required for young adults to become independent.
PAL not only teaches the necessary skills for Independent Living, but youth also attend experiential field trips and listen to experts teach about their field. Some of the many activities include college tours, touring apartments and speaking with landlords, learning financial information from local credit unions, and learning job skills from the local workforce affiliate.
