Friendship Place’s Before Thirty program: Extreme adulting
Hardship and deprivation, they say, will make you grow up fast. But when you think about it, they can keep you from growing up at all. If your life’s been a struggle since childhood — if the grown-ups around you are beset with their own problems — how ready will you be when the calendar turns and you magically become an “adult?”That’s why the District charity Friendship Place has a program called Before Thirty.
At 25, things become a little more sink-or-swim. There’s more competition for housing programs and for housing. That’s where Before Thirty comes in.“The goal is that people can come into this program after aging out of the youth program,” Levy said. “That really just helps them kick-start their adult lives, basically.”Levy is working with eight Before Thirty participants. They have various goals. Some of her clients want to go to school full-time.
Added Levy: “The program is built so if they put in the energy and they put in the interest, we’re able to really help them with things.”
