Helping Youth Pursue a Life They Love
LifeWorks serves youth and young families, many of whom have experienced homelessness, by providing wrap-around services through our Housing, Counseling, Education & Workforce programs.
We have designed various programs that meet our clients where they are, and support their pursuit of a life they love. Successes can include finding stable housing, addressing trauma through counseling, earning a high school diploma, and finding employment

A Place to Call Home
On any given night, we shelter or house more than 140 youth, but we know the need is much greater. There are more than 1,000 youth experiencing homelessness in Austin today. We know that having a safe and stable place to call home in crucial.

A Chance to Heal
Youth in foster care are twice as likely as U.S. Iraq War veterans to experience PTSD. LifeWorks counseling and psychiatric services offer a caring place for youth and families to address conflict and trauma so that they can move forward.

An Opportunity to Learn and Work
Our youth often struggle to find their place in the workforce, so our commitment is to lower the barriers experienced by youth who have grown up in foster care or spent time on the streets through evidence-based, rapid employment.
