Life Skills
Life skills cover a broad range of topics – including personal health and hygiene, job attainment, money management and other essential skills such as how to study, how to manage time, and even how to set and achieve goals. Site coordinators teach students how to work together with others, interact with authority figures and manage anger and other emotions. Mastering life skills helps students engage more effectively with others, resolve issues diplomatically and understand the importance of compromise, patience, and other social values. Our program includes one-on-one training, hands-on role playing and motivational presentations from successful community leaders.
