Our Vision 

The Community Transition Program is a place where young adults ages 18-21 have guided support to identify and pursue their individualized life goals. The transition program is a strength-based, person-centered approach that helps cultivate self-awareness and life-long skills for independence. By participating in the program, individuals create a support network and develop a sense of belonging within the community in which they live.

Our Mission 

Through the five pillars of adult transition skills of Academics for life and adult education, Independent Living Skills, Vocational Training, Community Participation, and, Recreation and Leisure Opportunities, CTP provides guidance, support, and resources for students to reach their highest level of independence.  We work collaboratively to empower and educate our students as they transition to life after high school in achieving the greatest degree of independence and quality of life.
