Prepare Today, Succeed Tomorrow.
Our Readiness Programs are designed to ensure that youth have the essential tools and knowledge to successfully transition into adulthood. Whether preparing for further education, employment, or life challenges, we equip participants with the skills they need to take the next step in their journey.
The Importance of Readiness
At Support the Block, our Readiness Programs focus on preparing young people for all aspects of adult life. We provide youth with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to navigate educational opportunities, workplace environments, and life’s challenges. These programs empower participants to transition smoothly into adulthood, whether they are continuing their education, entering the workforce, or engaging in community activities. With tailored guidance, each young person receives the support they need to face their future with assurance and self-reliance.
Key Program Components
The Readiness Programs are comprehensive and structured to address the unique needs of each participant. Key components of the program include:
- Life Skills Development Focused on essential life skills such as budgeting, time management, and problem-solving, these sessions are tailored to give youth practical knowledge they can use in their everyday lives.

How Do We Help Youth Become Independent and Self-Sufficient?
Our programs are designed to promote independence by offering personalized guidance on practical life skills and personal goal-setting. Through a structured approach, youth gain the skills necessary for day-to-day living, from managing their finances to navigating professional environments. This independence boosts confidence and allows youth to take ownership of their future.
Why Is Social and Emotional Support Crucial for Readiness?
Transitioning to adulthood can be a daunting process, and emotional resilience is key to overcoming challenges.
