LEARNING WEB
Young people-adolescents and young adults- are The Learning Web's reason for being. Assisting young people on their journey to adulthood is our mission: We connect them with an adult role model who helps them learn how to live on their own, while helping them evolve into valued members of our community, combining apprenticeships with mentoring in a range of services that include employment and life skills training, and supervised housing in a program for homeless youth. Through these programs, our participants have developed valuable skills that support them them as their transition into the adult world.
