To meet these challenges, Families and Futures offers means of approaching these problems head on. Through working cooperatively, students will explore a wide range of topics, such as career choices, dating and mate selection, choosing a college, planning a marriage, preparing nutritionally balanced meals, renting versus buying a house, leasing verses buying a car, and other skills that will aid them in their transitional years.
