As a family-centered nonprofit, we advocate for sustainable futures through continuing education, skills training, and employment support.

 

Our creative programs—like drawing, painting, and graphic design—help students boldly express themselves and grow.

 

Through the Developmental Skills Program, students learn vital skills such as personal care and literacy, fostering independence.

 

Our Life Skills curriculum prepares students for active roles at home and in the workforce, focusing on cooking, financial literacy, merchandising, masonry, and agriculture.

 

Families, teachers, and volunteers work together, making Lifelong a spirited, supportive community.

 

We invite you to support these efforts, join us at the Free Family Fun Fair in Southfield on August 3, 2025, and explore upcoming Life Skills Classes launching December 2024.
