With the rate of children that are aging out of foster care, and the difficulties our youth face transitioning back to their communities, naturally they will encounter disadvantages. CPEI has developed a program that will help these youth with their underdeveloped abilities. Our services focus on Vocational Aptitude, General Education, Career Exploration, Group/Independent Counseling and holistic life skills. As an organization, we feel these particulars are the driving forces that will aid our youth with transitioning into adulthood with the best opportunity of becoming productive young men and women. Without question, foster youth in general have been faced with a tremendous burden of not being part of a traditional family setting. Therefore, CPEI will provide residential programs that have the structure necessary for these youth to develop and attain a true sense of accomplishment in their growth process.
