Adulting 101

Adulting 101 is an educational series for teens lead by Extension Educators that teaches youth valuable life skills often not taught in the classroom. Adulting refers to being a responsible adult by paying bills, cooking and cleaning, having health insurance and maintaining a savings account. It also means knowing how to have healthy relationships and being a professional when interviewing for a job. It is believed that today’s youth lack adulting skills because there is an over-emphasis on academics from an early age compared to previous generations. This program engages youth in learning adulting skills to combat this issue.

All classes will be from 4:15 – 5:45 pm at Extension Outagamie County.
Open to all ages 14 – 24.
