ADS is a program of WJCS, which provides an academic, parent education and work-based learning program for mothers on public assistance who have infants and/or young children, or are expecting a child. The goal of ADS , is to give families reliant upon public assistance, "A Different Start”, by helping them to change the way they relate to their peers. Mothers are given the tools and support to become economically self sufficient, and help them to acquire good parenting skills.
