✨WHAT DOES IT MEAN WEDNESDAY ✨

The Post-Residential Phase is 12 months after the Residential Phase Graduation.
Cadets & Mentors are to keep in touch with their Case Manager each month for all 12 months.

What does that mean for the Graduates from our Residential phase?
📱 Stay connected with your Case Manager EVERY MONTH - this is your ticket to earning that full TCP diploma!

💼 Keep us updated on your placement:
School? We need schedules!
Job? Send those pay stubs!
Military? Volunteering? Other awesome things? Tell us ALL about it!
Remember: 25 hours/week counts as full-time

👥 Cadets & Mentors: You're in this together! Connect at least 4 times monthly (in-person is best, but calls/texts/social media work too!)

📝 Keep your PRAP goals in sight, but don't stress - your Post-Residential Action Plan can evolve as you grow!

Remember: The FULL TCP program is 17½ months (5½ residential + 12 post-residential). Complete both phases successfully and you'll be a fully vested TCP Graduate with a diploma to prove it! 🎓

Questions? Contact your Case Manager - we're here to help you SOAR! ⚡️

Thunderbird Family!
🎓The countdown to graduation is officially on! We wanted to give you a heads up that it's time to stop sending mail or packages to Thunderbird. With how long mail takes to arrive to Thunderbird, anything you send will most likely arrive after graduation.

Thanks for understanding, and we can't wait to celebrate graduation with everyone soon!

If you have questions or concerns, please contact us by phone at 918-824-4850.
