The Independent Living Skills Program, Beyond the Walls, joins the services provided by Shiloh House to complete the continuum of support for youth and young adults ages 14-26 as they become successful, productive young adult members of their local communities. Beyond the Walls is a program designed to come alongside youth, and teach essential skills while gaining vital confidence and support during times of change in their lives. Beyond the Walls works with young people as they move from case management toward being community connected and begin building a foundation of connections to help each young person thrive. 

In this program, each participant is assigned an independent living coach and the coaching plan is designed to be individualized and participant led, focusing on the following areas: housing, employment, financial literacy, education, community connections, health and well-being, and advocacy.

Coaches come alongside the participant as they link to resources and mentors which provide life skills, learning opportunities and tools to help them achieve their goals for the future. The coaching approach encourages greater creativity in problem solving and helps each young person learn how to thrive on the journey toward independence.
