Pittsburgh, PA (December 20, 2024) — Life’sWork of Western PA recently received a grant from the AEO Better World Foundation for use in the Life’sWork youth program. The Life’sWork youth program provides young people, whether in school or out of school, with support in identifying goals and the skills needed to become work-ready and focused. Youth in the program learn competencies such as self-advocacy, independent living skills, ways to navigate transportation challenges, and how to be workplace ready.

“We are excited that the AEO Better World Foundation has taken an interest in the young people who call western Pennsylvania home,” says Timothy Parks, president and chief executive officer of Life’sWork. “Their commitment to our youth program means that some of the youngest potential members of the workforce will have access to the services that will allow them to pursue their dreams and live a more independent life. It makes what can be a stressful and challenging time a little easier.”
