  LifeTutors is a goal-oriented and outcome-driven coaching support program. We work with our clients helping them "do all the things" as one student put it after receiving their associate's degree. Following through and achieving goals can be a daunting task for many young adults; especially if they have faced failure in the past. We walk with them through day to day living where the rubber meets the road. Young adults in need of mentoring, resiliency, or therapeutic support can be vulnerable to the freedoms of independent living. We meet our clients where they live, where they work, where they study, where support is needed to make sure progress doesn’t fall through the cracks or hope is lost because of one bad day. We engage our clients in their world, and support them in building the life they would like to build. We help young adults "do all the things" to ensure the foundation for independence is strong and success is sustainable. Show less
