They live together so they create a community. They mentor each other in that community. The program starts in the summer where they choose a job based on their interests. Going into the school year. They combine with life skills like cooking, budgeting, etc. afterschool and one week. By next year they should be more confident about living independently as adults.\n\n</div></dd><dt name=\"text-1695292616659-0\">Write the zipcode that best represents your New York City community:</dt><dd id=\"text-1695292616659-0\" name=\"text\">\n\n<div>10451\n\n</div></dd></dl></xml>"]
