Learning the Ropes
Transitional Living Program
Serving youth in DCFS care ages 17-21, our Transitional Living Program (TLP) helps youth successfully complete high school, gain work experience, and learn life skills that enable them to provide long-term stability for themselves after leaving DCFS care.
Youth in our TLP live in one of our shared residences which are staffed around-the-clock with Lawrence Hall Life Skills Educators. Life skills groups teach budgeting, employment skills, career planning, financial competence, time management, and basic apartment upkeep to prepare them for independent living. Our TLP prepares youth for our Independent Living Program or shared housing after they age out of DCFS care.
