About LifeWorks
Lifeworks mission is to fearlessly advocate for youth and young adults to pursue a life they love and a stable future for themselves and their families. Their service philosophy is strengths-based, data-driven, and client-centered. Everyone who walks through their door is served with dignity and viewed through the lens of their potential and the goals they set for themselves.
LifeWorks was created in 1998 through the merger of Pathways Community Counseling, Child & Family Service, Teenage Parent Council of Austin, and Youth Options. The goal of the merger was to establish a continuum of support for youth and families experiencing crisis. The organization started with a budget of $6 million and has grown to more than $20 million, employing more than 180 professional staff and operating 4 service locations.
LifeWorks has more than 50 years of experience working with homeless youth, youth aging out of foster care, young adults, and young parents.

They have one of the most comprehensive continuums of housing and support options for vulnerable youth in the country, including Street Outreach, Emergency Shelter, Transitional Living, Young Parents Program, Rapid Re-Housing, and Permanent Support Housing. LifeWorks is active in local, state, and national efforts to end youth homelessness. LifeWorks Counseling programs provide one of the largest sources of community-based and psychiatric services to children, youth and families. Education and Workforce programs provide literacy and HSE (High School Equivalency) classes, workforce placement, and critical skill-building support. Youth and families may access one or multiple LifeWorks programs with continuity.
