In 2019, Adulting 101 was piloted in an effort to prepare students to life after high school.

In its first session, the Foundation partnered with a project team from the 2018 United Way St. Joseph Leadership Class to provide students the opportunity to learn about leadership & diversity, healthcare, wellness & nutrition, car-care & maintenance and employment.
