Finds ways you can make a difference in your community
Project LIFE is working in your region to touch a life and create a future, by offering several resources and services for youth in foster care between the ages of 14 to 21 and youth adopted after the age of 16. Project LIFE, in the Central Region, offers creative opportunities for youth to learn, network, and grow. A few of these opportunities are, the Central Region Youth Advisory Council, regional youth conferences, and ongoing Independent Living workshops. The Project LIFE team also helps youth prepare for their Family Partnership Meetings and identify resources for their needs. In addition, there are several training opportunities for professionals (LDSS and private providers), such as the Casey Life Skills Assessment, Overview of the Independent Living/ETV Program, and developing Youth/Adult Partnerships. If you have questions, or in need of Independent Living services to travel to your area, whether you live in Richmond City, Lunenburg, Fluvanna, Caroline, Westmoreland, Middlesex, or Hopewell or 18 of the other counties/cities in the region please contact me. I am here to help provide you with information, resources, training, event planning, and other opportunities for youth success!
