Chrysalis Academy is a voluntary residential transition program which offers young men ages 18 to 24 the opportunity to learn the skills they need to enter successful adulthood. The goal for each young man enrolled at Chrysalis is to become self-sufficient and equipped to be a productive citizen, parent, worker and role model in his community. Chrysalis Academy will provide a home for him rather than an institutional setting. Each youth will work with staff to create an individual development plan for his stay at Chrysalis. The program is voluntary, and provides a holistic curriculum.http://www.childrenscampus.org/TLP.aspx
