VNS is "A learning community that empowers individuals to become purposeful adults". Our graduates have much practice with goal setting, managing their time, creating actionable steps that are achievable, and planning for success. Becoming a "purposeful adult" looks different for every individual and yet high percentages of our graduates report having meaning in life and finding success, whatever that means for them.
All graduates are required to be accepted into a post secondary program. This can be a workforce training program, the military, college, or some other type of program to help prepare them for life after VNS.
