Family Living Projects allow youth to explore the life skills needed for managing a household and living with others.  They include meal preparation and planning, family finances, household upkeep and minor repairs, and childcare.

Objectives

Youth will:

  • Fix snacks and simple meals
  • Understand household management, including budgeting and family finances
  • Play finger games, sing action songs, and make books and toys that may aid in child care
  • Make room furnishings such as a bulletin board, wall hanging, mobile, wastebasket, or pillow
