Preparing Youth for Life


Young Adult Life Initiative (YALI) is a not-for-profit organization that helps prepare youth for college and adulthood.

We provide workshops and events that focus on life skills, career development, college preparation, and entrepreneurial   development. We assist youth in cultivating life skills and provide opportunities for personal growth.

Young Adult Life Initiative's affordable services include: portfolio development, youth life coaching/counseling, mock interviewing, teen job search development, teen resume and cover letter development, career assessment, study skills development, job search preparation, and exposure to various life skills (communication, social skills and leadership development.

Young Adult Life Initiative students learn life skills they will use for a lifetime.  Goal setting, early career exploration, and guidance help young people build self-confidence. The teen with a healthy self-esteem becomes the adult with a positive sense of self.
