At our two-day School of Independent Living camp, young people who are in care or in “families in crisis” developed skills that many employers look for. These 21st Century Skills include public speaking, problem solving and emotional intelligence. An exciting line up of coaches and volunteers led workshops. Angela says "Thank you for the opportunity to develop as individuals!"
