How Are the Life Skills/Arts and Crafts Sessions Structured?
Our lesson plans are carefully designed to build off one another so that participants can improve on their life skills as we move through the year. Each month we focus on a different life skill with weekly topics that tie directly into it. For instance, one month may be about relationships where we talk about different types of relationships during the first week and how to make friends during the second. Or we might focus on employment for a month in which we would teach how to write resumes, find job opportunities, and conduct mock job interviews. Each of which would have their own week so that we can really deep dive into it and help participants to truly learn new skills.

To complement our life skills lesson plans, we engage in craft projects and STEM experiments that reinforce the main topics of the week. For example, during our friendship building topic, we made friendship bracelets. We will carry the topics throughout the day by discussing them during snack time or pointing out examples in movies.
