Freshman

As a freshman, our daughter works on her initial goals, learning the dynamics of the home and making the decision to commit to self-improvement. Without outside distractions, she has weekly meetings with the Program Manager to focus on priority goals such as obtaining an ID, establishing residency, setting educational or career goals, building relationships, and securing a job or enrolling in school. Throughout this phase, she receives housing, transportation, food, and the guidance needed to achieve goals that would be challenging to accomplish on her own.

Her key goals include saving and accruing 80% of her income, obtaining a driving permit or license, building relationships with ODH staff and other Daughters, and working towards her career. She has housing, transportation, family meals, trust, support in goal achievement, and the possibility of obtaining a car.

Each week she continues to assess and pursue her goals, attend school or work, while meeting with the Program Manager. Her goals include building relationships, saving money, and preparing for adult living while she has access to housing, transportation, food scholarships, and the accomplishment of challenging goals with support.
