Project LIFE
Empowering Independence Through Hands-On Life and Career Skills Training

Project LIFE is a comprehensive, multi-year transition program designed to support students with disabilities in developing the skills needed for adult independence, meaningful employment, and successful integration into the community. Through a blend of real-world job training, daily living practice, and community-based instruction, students build confidence and capability for life beyond high school.

Project LIFE promotes self-advocacy, confidence, and independence in a supportive, structured environment. Students grow at their own pace while preparing for life after high school, including employment, continued education, and adult living.

Eligibility Requirements: School Counselor recommendation and a Lorain County JVS Application on file.
