L.I.F.E. Toronto serves young people who have a physical disability and are making the transition into adulthood. The program provides participants with a learning environment to expand their social and professional skills while practicing the daily responsibilities of adulthood. L.I.F.E. Toronto’s goal is to bridge the gap between child and adult services by providing participants with new skills and resources. L.I.F.E. Toronto is a combination of Life Skills Workshops, Outward Bound Canada programming, weekly Social Outings, and Conductive Education.
Along with fun and adventure, participants experience some challenges. Indeed, the very purpose of the program is to help them find untapped resources within themselves and within the group, to help them discover that they are more capable than they know.
L.I.F.E. Toronto is a new program that continues with the support of United Way Toronto, TD Canada Trust, and Royal Bank.
