The 2nd Chance in Life Transitional Youth Sponsorship Program, equips foster home youth for their independent living. Through the guidance of different mentors and companions, capital is built in the aspects of “career, financial, personal and social.”
“Wealth Management and Savings for Future Planning”
To live independently, understand first financial management, and then invest in the future! Dicky, the instructor of the “Financial Management Workshop”, shares the “twelve styles” of financial management with his own experience. He encourages young people to spend time, save monthly, be disciplined and take good risk management plan, everyone can enjoy financial freedom! Young people at youth home are actively studying and have tried different ways to manage money!
“Career Guidance”
When CK, a young man from youth home, started his job search, he was guided by Kenny on how to distinguish recruitment information, compare different types of jobs, and understand industry development and the opportunities for further education. Encouraged by this life coach, CK started his first job to work in property management as a clerk in a real estate development company. CK shared: “Colleagues treat me well and are willing to teach me. After a few months of learning and operation, he will be transferred to other positions to learn more.”
“Attitude and Grooming Workshop”
Remember the stressful situation of having job interview? Young people always feel distressed when they encounter a job interview for the first time in their lives.
Alice, a beauty business supervisor, helping as their workshop instructor, teaches young people proper attitude and grooming skills. Well-equipped young people will naturally improve their interview performance!
“Workshop on “Personalities” and “Interpersonal Relationship”
Knowing yourself and learning to get along with others are very important for young people in the workplace. In the workshop, Mr. Kurt let the youth understand that each person created by Heavenly Father has his/her own characteristics and strengths, each has different destiny, and the most important thing is how to respond to the Heavenly Father! He hopes to walk with them and be their “Tree Hole”.
“Community Resources and Living”
Youth Home mentors train foster home youth to live independently. The “Community Resources and Living” workshop introduces various resources, including employment, further education, medical care, housing, care funds, etc., to help them broaden their knowledge and get access to community resources.
