Summer of 2023 brought an exciting change to the programing relationship for Calvin University and Ready For Life Academy. RFLA students now have their place of belonging firmly established in the Calvin community as the university has been able to assimilate the inclusive post-secondary education program fully in their course offerings. Ready For Life continues to support the Calvin University Life and Career Studies program by offering contracted CLS, Counseling and Launch Coaching Services.
