A New Project in Partnership with the United Way of Southwestern, PA!
In February, The PEAL Center started a program in partnership with the United Way of Southwestern PA around transitioning to adulthood for youth ages 14-21. It started with Transition Coaching Pods in February and March, Adulting Labs in April, and will end with the Navigator Certificate starting this May! It's not too late for youth to participate in one, several, or all components. Each piece reinforces the others, and all are designed using familiar PEAL tools such as leadership activities, self-awareness exercises, goal setting, communication skill practice, and transition planning checklists.
Spring 2027 dates coming soon!
By the end of the Pathways Program, youth will have completed a Transition Portfolio, including:
- A Personal Statement
- Strengths and Support Map
- Employment Goals
- Resume
- Accommodation Plan
- Disclosure Script
- Transportation Plan
- Budgeting Plan
- Healthcare Transition Summary
- Postsecondary Plan
- Independent Living Checklist
- Accessibility Review Project
- SMART Goals
