It is designed to uplift a wide range of survivors (commonly referred to as people with disabilities, physically and emotionally abused youth).

Resume writing, interviewing techniques and job skills are also provided in the program.
WHO WE ARE
ANDERSON LIFE DEVELOPMENT CENTER AT A GLANCE
Our Mission
The mission of Anderson Life Development Center is to assist youth that are aging out of foster care with the necessary tools to start a new time in their life with their children and to instill in them the confidence that they need to succeed as productive members of society. ALDC will create leaders from participants and challenge them to lead their communities to greater heights through dedication and service. We provide positive alternatives through which goals are created and maintained. The impossibilities of the past becomes the opportunities of the hallmark of ALDC. ALDC is committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by young adults transitioning out of foster care. We recognize that this critical period in their lives requires comprehensive support in various areas, including stability.
​
Our Purpose
​
The need for our services is substantial. Without proper support, young adults aging out of foster care often face significant challenges such as homelessness, unemployment, and limited educational opportunities. At Anderson Life Development Center we have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact that our program has had on the lives of these young adults. Through our comprehensive approach, we have seen increased educational attainment, improved employment outcomes and enhanced overall well-being.
