Focusing on Youth

The Center for Independent Living is a charity filled with vitality and fun.  Activities for our youth range from our wide curriculum of life skills, education and vocation to the endless arena of recreation.  All activities for our homeless youth are valuable in the sense that they encourage a sense of belonging and trust in traditional society. 

We have guest speakers, cultural touring groups, workshops and parties galore.  Interaction is of the essence.  What better interaction for our youth than to work or play along side a dedicated volunteer.

These are significant steps towards our ultimate vision of seeing these youth as self-sufficient adults with healthy relationships.
