LIFEWORKS CENTERS FOR DISABILITY INCLUSION

Opening Doors to Access and Opportunity

Lifeworks envisions a world where disability inclusion is the standard – not the exception. The Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion help make that vision reality.

What is a Lifeworks Center for Disability Inclusion?

The Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion are ultra-accessible, community-centered gathering spaces designed for everyone – people with disabilities, their families, and their communities. They are situated in bustling neighborhoods where people can come together to build skills, make connections, and access resources.

Each Lifeworks Center for Disability Inclusion offers all of Lifeworks’ services under one roof: Day Support, Employment, In-Home or Navigation Services, disability inclusion trainings, education sessions, and community events. Plus, the centers help communities better understand disability, so that we can build a disability-friendly world.

Why We’re Building Centers for Disability Inclusion

For 60 years, Lifeworks has partnered with people with disabilities to live the lives they want. However, barriers to inclusion remain, especially for those navigating outdated systems, isolated geographies, or inaccessible environments. And the reality is, we all know someone with a disability, have a disability ourselves, or will become disabled at some point.

This is why we’re investing in the Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion today – for people who seek support now, and for those who will need to in the future. The Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion are designed to meet evolving needs with flexible programming, easy-to-access resources, and a focus on community connection. Every Lifeworks Center for Disability Inclusion is a response to what people with disabilities have told us they want: real opportunities, in their own communities, on their own terms.
