"Planning for Your Transition from High School to Adult Life; A Workbook to Help You to Decide What You Want Your Life to Look Like After Graduation"
By Ellen Condon & Kim Brown Design by Jillian Jurica The purpose of this workbook is to help youth to take the lead in planning for their adult live. The workbook shares important information, encourages youth to begin thinking about life after high school, and offers ideas they can use to plan routes to reach their goals. This is not a workbook parents, educators or others should hand to young adults and ask them to complete on their own., Rather, it should be used as a guide for conversations, either one-to-one or in groups, between adults and between young people. The workbook includes suggested activities, but don't be limited to these - be creative!

Note to Teachers: You might want to photocopy the “activity” pages of this workbook and keep the extra copies in a binder. This way, you can use the workbook with multiple students. @http://ruralinstitute.umt.edu/transition/Articles/PlanningWorkbook.pdf
