What is Momentum?

Momentum is a transitional program designed to provide support to high school graduates as they navigate their next stage of life.

Momentum provides the education, guidance, and growth of life-management skills needed for healthy, independent living. These practices are then paired with in-depth development of vocational skills and individualized support through higher-level education, resulting in a well rounded, purpose-filled young adult. Students can confidently achieve their life goals with the support of licensed professional counselors, attentive staff, and an external dialogue with therapists, doctors, and counselors.

Momentum is founded upon the principles of Academic/Career Development, Independent Living, Communication Skills, and Community Engagement. Momentum participants will gain invaluable skills relating to financial planning, nutrition and personal health, social and professional relationships, community service, and more.
