Community organization
A community-based organization serving young adults transitioning into work, training, and independent living.
- Participants arrived with very different starting points and life demands.
- Existing workshops were one-offs with no throughline or measurable progress.
- Staff needed materials they could deliver consistently across cohorts.
- Built a 6-week arc moving from self-assessment to goal-setting to self-advocacy in real settings.
- Created session plans, participant workbooks, and facilitator scripts for every week.
- Anchored each week in a practice task participants applied between sessions.
- Participants left with a written plan and habits they were already practicing.
- Staff could run the program consistently without rebuilding materials.
- Progress became visible week to week through applied tasks.
