Building Essential Skills Together

The first Independence Lab cohorts filled faster than we imagined.

That told us something important.

Families are hungry for practical opportunities that help teens and young adults build confidence, life skills, friendships, and greater independence.

So we're making a Summer Enrichment Series available..

The BEST Summer Independence Lab Enrichment Series begins June 10 and runs through July 22.

Participants will explore real-world life skills, creativity, social connection, and hands-on learning in a fun, supportive environment.
