Legacy Empowerment Services provides individualized education services that help Members strengthen academic skills, build executive functioning, prepare for important milestones, and work toward greater independence.
Education looks different for every Member. Some may be working on foundational reading, writing, or math skills. Others may be preparing for a GED, navigating college coursework, improving organization and time management, or working toward a New Jersey driver’s license.
Through the Legacy Way, instruction is adapted to each Member’s goals, learning style, strengths, and support needs. The focus is not simply on completing a lesson or passing a test, but on helping Members build practical skills they can carry into school, work, and everyday life.
Functional & Academic Coaching provides individualized support for Members working toward academic, educational, and real-world learning goals.
Instruction may address:
Coaches work with Members to break larger goals into manageable steps, develop stronger learning routines, and build confidence using their skills more independently.
Support may range from foundational academics to higher-level coursework and can be adapted to the Member’s current skill level and learning needs.
Good to know: Semester packages may be available for college students.
Green Light Driver’s Education prepares Members for the New Jersey Knowledge Test using an accessible curriculum designed to make driving concepts easier to understand and apply.
