Life Skills

This program serves adults 21 years and older. Its main focus is to enable economically and educationally disadvantaged adults to become more fully functioning members of society. The program includes management of home, family and job issues, personal awareness, knowledge of community resources, and decision making and problem solving skills. There are also home study modules available within which the students follow a schedule similar to other home study courses. A recent collaborative program enhancement, entitled Dare to Explore, presents excellent parenting skills and life issues management to both Spanish- and English-speaking populations and is designed and overseen by representatives of the Adult Program as well as Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Transitional Opportunities Program.
