Services: Project LIFE is a comprehensive, multi-year transition program in which post high school-graduate interns with a developmental disability will develop, practice, and strengthen skills that will help lead them to adult independence and community employment. Interns begin their day at a community-based work site under the supervision of a skills trainer. Once the worksite is done, interns will have learning activities with a curriculum directed by the Project LIFE Coordinator and skills trainer.

Each aspect allows interns to focus on self-determination, independence, social and communication skills, physical and emotional well-being, and more.
