Independent Living Program (ages 18-21)

This program is for young adults ages 18-21 who once lived on our Children's Village campus in the Residential Care & Support Program but have since "aged-out." The goal of this program is to help our children continue to smoothly transition away from life in our Children's Village. This is done by moving them into an "independent living home" in the community, where they will also learn community interdependence: how the communities support, interact, and do life together. Their schooling, housing & utilities, food, and personal supplies are provided. However, we encourage them to find a job in the community, where they can earn money that they can use to save and/or purchase any "extras." Each independent living home has a live-in Resident Advisor who is hired by Hands and Feet Project to help guide these young adults through these last steps.
