Adult Learning programs serve adults over the age of 21 from Trinity's residential programs as well as persons living at home or served by other agencies. Curricula range from teaching basic skills for independent living--health and safety, for example--to more advanced skills needed to find a job, maintain personal finances, and achieve self-reliance. There are many Adult Learning centers in Joliet, Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, and Wilmington. Trinity serves more than 400 people in its five Adult Learning programs.
One of Adult Learning's most innovative experiences is the Horticulture program. Small groups learn about foliage plants, flowers, vegetables, and seasonal plants. The benefits include: sensory stimulation, physical exercise, hand-eye coordination, fine and gross motor skill development, socialization, and increased self-esteem.
