Helping individuals tap into their own resilience and strength to build stable communities.

For more than 90 years, Life’sWork has been a source of opportunity for individuals, children and families to tap into their resilience, and, as needed, to intervene and help them triumph over life’s challenges and sometimes urgent personal and family-bases crises so that they can reach their full potential.

Today, under contracts from major state and local public assistance agencies, we provide a variety of services that empower our clients to overcome barriers, flourish and reintegrate into the broader community.

Creating Communities Where Everyone Can Flourish

At Life’sWork, we use people-centered planning to explore each client’s desires, values, hopes and dreams.

For many of our clients, this may entail a stable job within the community, or a healthy home where their family can learn and grow. Each client has their own desires and gifts, and we work alongside them to find the best fit for their unique situation.
