Please note: This event has been postponed. Do you know how to change a flat tire? Are you confident in basic electrical or welding? Do you fully understand banking, loans and credit? Are you prepared for your next job interview? Do you have legal or human resources questions? For most 16-21 year olds, these are difficult questions to answer, yet these skills are imperative to being able to lead an independent life as an adult.

Do you have the skills needed to lead an independent life and made positive adult choices? Are there areas you need a little extra guidance or someone you can trust to call for help? Holmes County OSU Extension and Holmes County Farm Bureau want to provide you with trusted resources to help you in your future.

This opportunity, called Life Skills Camp, is a series of four, half day sessions deigned to help fill in the gaps for young adults age 16-21. Participants can choose between morning and afternoon sessions on June 19 or June 26. Participants can attend one or all four sessions at a cost of $10 per session. Lunch is provided as well as the participant’s choice of one #adulting kits which includes options such as auto emergency, cooking or home repair.

Session Descriptions

Within each session participants will choose three breakout classes. These classes will range in topic and will include basic auto repair, changing a flat tire, basic electricity, basic welding, credit, budgeting, job interviews, human resources, managing relationships, legal Q&A and more. Participants choose the area they need the most guidance and the experts will be on hand to share information and answer questions.

During lunch, listen to a panel of local leaders, many of them Holmes County entrepreneurs and business owners, telling their story of getting started and becoming successful in the Holmes County area. A career fair and trade show will also be open for participants to make further connections, answer additional questions and learn about job openings in the area.

Registration deadline is June 5 and classes are on a first come basis until filled. Registration can also be completed in person at the Holmes County OSU Extension Office, 111 E Jackson St, Millersburg.
