Skills for a Lifetime!

i Mar 11th by

A favorite program here at the KYC is our Skills for a Lifetime program.  This important program addresses employment, education, hobbies, adventure and travel,  relationships, and the ‘nuts and bolts,’ those specific skills that help adults succeed.  On Thursday, our volunteer, Estelle helped us start thinking about higher education.  Estelle has devoted her career to helping young people along their educational path.  Thanks Estelle!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We talked a bit about how as an adult, one can often earn a much better living if they have education and training beyond high school.  It’s not always college, there are many ways to get trained to perform important jobs.  Students need to plan ahead, so that they have an idea of what is available to them and how to obtain it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Students took turns reading definitions to help their peers gain familiarity surrounding these topics.  Students learned about the FAFSA, loans, grants, work study, scholarships, and other financial aid.  We talked about the different types of training and education that is available after high school.

Our goal is to help KYCers live more fulfilling and productive lives by teaching them skills that will help them excel!
