Abstract
  • Youth experiencing homelessness are faced with a multitude of challenges including finding safe shelter, obtaining income, and often trying to finish high school. (Marshall & Rosenberg, 2014). KIC-IT is a not-for-profit organization that provides coaching services and resources for young adults and teens experiencing homelessness. The purpose of this project was to fill a gap in services provided at KIC-IT by developing and implementing a life skills curriculum. Within the curriculum clients learned to prepare meals using the appliances available to them and foods available at a food pantry. Within the curriculum they also learned budgeting skills and were provided developmental handouts to aid in child rearing. After engaging in the curriculum, clients reported gaining skills in some area of cooking or budgeting. Along with gaining new skills, engaging in cooking classes was a way to build a rapport with staff to facilitate improved ability to work towards meeting goals.
