COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Need Help Getting Life Together?

The Life Learning Center is committed to building a caring and serving community by helping people learn, secure and sustain a better way of living through education and care support. 
 
The Life Learning Center delivers The Foundations for a Better Life™ 12-week program that focuses on addressing five domains of life: physical, financial, spiritual, emotional, and relational. These on-going barriers often derive from the addiction epidemic, increased incarceration, and childhood poverty rates which are rising in our local tristate area. These factors directly hinder an individual's ability to generate an income for their family, leaving citizens "at-risk" hopeless and unemployable.
