In today’s society it is essential that emerging adults are able to adapt to meet the challenges they face upon high school graduation and beyond. Ironically, 2020 further complicated the transition into adulthood as many families were not well equipped to handle the magnification of issues the COVID pandemic generated. Joblessness, financial insecurity, and relationship conflicts, created a crisis that many people never imagined they would endure. Concerns raised at an advisory council meeting over the impact these problems will have on young adults motivated the Family and Consumer Sciences Agent to coordinate and teach a 3 part series titled “Adulting 101”.  The virtual classes were publicized through the Youth Service Center Coordinators in the Kenton County School District and students and their parents registered online through the extension office. The Family and Consumer Sciences Agent coordinated and taught the workshops; “Adulting 101- Money talks”, “Adulting 101- Employability”, and “Adulting 101- Relationship Smarts” to 34 participants.   The follow up survey’s returned to date indicate that as a result of the program; 85% learned one or more job search techniques, 30% have used the knowledge gained in the class to fill out job applications, 75% learned how to track their spending and why it is important, and 80% have used one or more of the relationship skills to improve communication with a loved one.   The overall impact of COVID-19 on young adults will have both positive and negative repercussions.   Going forward the collaboration with the high school youth service coordinator will continue in an effort to alleviate lasting negative impact the isolation and financial stress has burdened the families they serve.
