Transitioning into adulthood can be overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone! Join us for Adulting 101, a practical, judgment-free series designed to equip teens and young adults with the essential life skills they didn’t teach in school. Older adults, you're welcome too--you may find some refreshers, updated information, or knowledge that you missed! Whether you're heading off to college, starting a job, or just trying to figure things out, this program is for you. Come for the advice — stay for the great conversation. Please register for each session individually; attendees must be in 9th grade or older.
