Finds ways you can make a difference in your community
Project LIFE is working to enhance the Independent Living Program throughout the state of Virginia. This page will help you find resources and events taking place near you whether you live in Roanoke, Danville, Charlottesville, or Staunton! Each month there are opportunities for independent living workshops/trainings/events and for youth to network with other youth in care. In addition, there are training opportunities for staff, such as the Casey Life Skills Assessment training. I am here for YOU to answer questions for youth and professionals and provide information, resources, training, event planning, and opportunities for the Independent Living Program!
