Our Voc-Ed team develops personalized job and life skills plans for each resident, offering resume support, interview prep, and real-world experience through paid or volunteer work. They also assist with key life tasks like filing taxes, voter registration, and college or internship applications.
Specialized Programs

We offer more
In addition to our residential programs, Third Way Center offers four specialized programs that contribute to our continuum of care. The four programs are Vocational Education, Recreation, Next Steps After Care and Transitional Services, and Substance Use Treatment.
Recreation
Recreational Therapy helps youth build confidence and supports their physical and mental health through engaging experiences. From hiking and rafting to art and gardening, this program encourages exploration, fun, and healing while introducing healthy hobbies.
Next Steps After Care & Transitional Services
Third Way Center’s end goal is to help youth heal and grow into confident, self-sufficient adults. After graduating from our residential programs, youth can continue through Next Steps—a transitional support program offering therapy, housing assistance, employment support, and continued clinical care.
Substance Use Treatment
Third Way Center’s Substance Use Treatment Program addresses addiction through individualized, trauma-informed care. By identifying the root causes of substance use, our team helps youth begin physical and emotional recovery. Residents build trust, reclaim their power, and move forward with hope and a more positive outlook.
