A workshop, Planning for Life After High School for Teens/Young Adults and Parents, will be held Jan. 20 at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock, 100 S. Wilcox St.
Divided sessions taught by an attorney, a financial representative and a career counselor are designed to address topics and questions from a parent perspective (with kids of all ages — even grandparents who want to help) and from a young adult perspective (ages 15-23).
Some topics will include: Weighing costs and benefits of college choices; college savings strategies; minimizing debt; and legal rights and responsibilities of new adults
The event is hosted by the Douglas County Parenting Coalition and includes a boxed dinner. It’s free, but RSVP is required to dcparenting@usa.com by Jan. 18. Provide your name and the number of attendees for the parent sessions and the student sessions. Space is limited.
