Life Skills Program

The Life Skills Program provides adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18 with training necessary for their successful transition from placement to independence. Our Life Skills training focuses on employment, money management, community resources, communication, decision making, housing, and education. 

Life Skills Program clients must be referred to the Urban League by DYFS (Division of Youth & Family Services).  Adolescents must be in a DYFS-paid placement on their 14th birthday to be eligible for this program.

If you or someone you know are aging out of the foster care system please contact Ms. LaTrenda Ross to discuss your eligibility for our Life Skills Program.

Ms. Ross can be reached at (201) 451-8888 ext 119.
