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.
