Are you feeling stuck and ready to take control of your future? The “Moving Up” program, supported by Naperville Cares, is designed to empower you to discover and overcome obstacles preventing you from living a more self-sufficient life. This transformative 20-week session, offered annually, provides the tools and support needed to craft your own success story.
Moving Up focuses on building a robust foundation for your financial well-being, centered around your personal life plan. Unlike traditional learning environments, this program utilizes informal, kitchen-table style discussions in small groups. This unique approach fosters a comfortable and collaborative space where you’ll learn what truly works best for you through shared problem-solving and peer support.
The Moving Up program offers a unique opportunity to:
- Leverage Your Strengths: Identify and build upon your existing skills and talents to achieve your goals.
- Explore Community Resources: Gain valuable insights into local resources and support systems available in Naperville to assist you on your journey.
- Develop a Personalized Life Plan: Create a strategic roadmap for the life you envision, complete with SMART goals and actionable steps to ensure progress.
- Expand Your Network & Skills: Connect with new friends, deepen your self-awareness and understanding of others, and acquire new skills to navigate life’s challenges effectively.
Even when facing adversity, Moving Up provides a pathway to move forward, learn valuable skills, and enact positive change in your life.
