WHY IS CHRIST’S HAVEN FOR CHILDREN DIFFERENT?
LIFE PATH PROGRAM FOR TEENS/YOUNG ADULTS
Providing A Platform For Young Adults To Successfully Launch Into Adulthood.
Life Path Program
Beginning their junior year in high school, every child participates in our Life Path program where they learn critical life skills, explore college and career options, and hear from motivational speakers who have overcome obstacles.
Focus on Higher Education
All young people that might typically “age out” of care when they turn 18 are encouraged to stay, graduate from high school, and pursue post-secondary education.
Prepare for Life Success
Upon graduation, children may stay in our transitional housing while working & pursuing post-secondary education all while continuing to receive support, guidance, and assistance with skills development.
