• STUDENT APPLICATION

    SKILLED FOR LIFE was born in Columbus, Ohio as part of the South Side Neighborhood Leadership Academy. Our project group developed this program out of the belief that we are healthier, more responsible and successful when we grasp and apply the skills necessary to navigate everyday life. We designed the SKILLED FOR LIFE program to target 4 primary skill-sets which we do not feel are currently covered in traditional education curriculum. These areas include Financial, Nutrition, Transportation and Communication. SKILLED FOR LIFE workshops are open to those who are between 16 and 24 years of age, who live on the South Side of Columbus, Ohio. Those interested in participating in the workshops as students should complete the form below. Thank you!
