WHAT PROGRESS LOOKS LIKE
Success is measured in real-life stability, not program completion. Reported outcomes have included:
Outcome
What it means
Permits and licenses obtained
Young men leaving able to drive themselves to work, school and family obligations
Full-time employment maintained
Work held through the scheduling and transportation problems that usually end it
Certifications completed
Credentials with a real wage behind them, not placeholder jobs
Probation successfully concluded
Supervision finished, with the stability in place to keep it finished
The goal is not to keep a young person in placement. The goal is to prepare him to no longer need one. Tools for Tomorrow teaches and stabilizes. Responsibility House lets him practice. The final transition lets him live what he has learned.
