We know students and adults need to be prepared for the future and the challenges they will face throughout life. Proper life skill development establishes the know-how and the confidence needed to navigate through life for at-risk youth and young adults in need of targeted life skills training. Our individual-based approach accomplishes these goals and prepares individuals to live more full, productive and independent lives.
Individualized training plans and centers are created based on comprehensive assessments of each individual’s capabilities and needs. These assessments allow us to focus specifically on identified needs without teaching redundant or unnecessary skill sets.
Family/Community Engagement
Our Center is an onsite customized tutoring service. Adolescents and families develop social skills to help them build life-long relationships and a stronger community. JYS provides day courses and classes to adolescents who are not enrolled in school and non-traditional adult students who are in needs of remedial and academic skill building services.
Our supplemental education service center offers academic and social skills, supportive services to youth and families who are in needs of remedial and academic skill building services.
