Building the Foundation for a Meaningful Adulthood

Academic and Career Development

Choosing a career is a pivotal decision that influences both personal growth and professional development. Your Milestone team is committed to helping participants understand their interests and inner strengths using common sense and universal tools. We help guide toward careers that are fulfilling, meaningful, and aligned with participant values. Through this process, participants gain insight into their talents and build the confidence and skills needed to pursue their chosen paths with clarity and purpose.

Academics

At Milestone, we guide our young adults through the sometimes-daunting journey of academia. No one size fits all; each young adult is unique in personality, needs, and experience. Our dedicated coaching team provides tailored, individual support, guiding college research, setting clear academic goals, and helping to develop a love for lifelong learning and education. We work closely with local universities, colleges, and other institutions to ensure that participants maximize their educational opportunities. Again, the emphasis in our scaffolding approach is on developing competence and achieving success both inside and outside the classroom. Character development is at the heart of what pushes us at Milestone.

Executive Functioning Skills​

Executive functioning is a critical skill that helps develop confidence and opens the door to competence. Confidence is a byproduct of competence. Independent living skills are just that, a skill. Skills are the practiced fundamentals of any given behavior or action. Even the fundamentals of correct thinking can become a skill through appropriate practice and deliberation. By cultivating executive functioning skills, achieving independent living, career goals, academic goals, and other life goals is realized to a greater degree.

Tutoring Services

Tutoring is a valuable resource that is highly encouraged. While many colleges and universities offer peer tutoring, our young adults can collaborate with their team for personalized tutoring support in any subject area where additional help is needed.
