The Independent Living Program (ILP) has been part of SRJC since 1989.
In partnership with Sonoma County Department of Human Services, ILP
provides support and resources for youth ages 16-21 who are in foster
placement or who are moving toward independent living. Classes, workshops,
and events that cover topics such as college enrollment, housing, budgeting,
banking, conflict resolution, safe choices, and goal setting, help develop
skills and resources needed to become self sufficient. Independent Living
Program is state and federally funded, and all classes are free.
