Life Beyond Youth Program
Our program LBY is focused on. Re-Entry and the LGBTQ Community to assist those returning home and in need of support. (LBY) is a 52 week comprehensive learning mentoring program that provides participants with an assessment to help identify strengths and weaknesses. After participants have completed the first 30 days of Orientation and Introductory classes, they are then matched with a mentor who has the expertise, training and professionalism, time and commitment to meet with their mentee face to face once a month along with a bi-weekly check in. Participants also after being assessed will have the opportunity to work with a case manager who will assist them with additional resources and referrals needed for additional support services.
