We do this by teaching a self-improvement program in eight dynamic one hour classes on the power of thinking and provide a clear understanding of how life choices are made. This introduces a new valuable education experience, utilizing the cognitive behavior theory approach for those in need focused on developing a new mindset that can provide a path to a better life. Our strategic focus is directed to help agencies that serve the homeless, the homeless in transition, parolees, drug & alcohol recovery, transitional youth, and low -income families seeking better job opportunities.

Life Skills for Success-Building Confidence & Tools for Living Wage Jobs. In May we completed our first Life Skills education classes for 20 youth participating in a job training program for transition-aged youth, offered by the San Diego Housing Commission which provides support and education to assist the participants with becoming certified Medical Assistants and job placement. In addition to the medical curriculum, SDHC included our Life Skills education program as an important part of youth development and confidence building, tools necessary for completion of the program. There are 4 cohorts scheduled over a two-year grant term, with 40 youth being served each year, or a total of 80 participants. The onsite classes are held at the Western Medical Training facility in El Cajon and are taught by James Robins, Executive Director and Kristi Tupolo a Life Skills class graduate and certified life coach. There were 17 youths whom have successfully completed the RLS program and graduated with an MA certificate. Housing Stability-Helping Residents from Being Evicted.
