The Launching Leaders webinar explores practical strategies to support emerging adults (specifically, military teens) in navigating financial decisions and career planning. Topics related to the AFC Core Competencies include: gathering client information, goal setting, creating an action plan, employment considerations, and making informed decisions by exploring pathways for life beyond high school graduation (e.g., financial considerations for college).<\/p>\n
This webinar will identify approaches, tools, and resources that can increase resilience and self-advocacy for military-connected teens. Presenters will highlight the critical role of positive youth-adult relationships and examine ways to support military-connected teens in their transition to adulthood. Drawing on recent research, this session explores practical strategies and resources like the Cooperative Extension 4-H program.<\/p>\n
