2 014 2014LifeWorks Annual Report
2
LifeWorks is a fearless advocate for youth and families who are seeking their paths to self-sufficiency. Last year, we provided a continuum of 20 different programs to around 6,000 Central Texas families who were struggling with homelessness, abuse, mental health issues, poverty, and parenting at a very young age.
Very few organizations in the country provide this comprehensive breadth of services – or are fundamentally committed to the rigorous quality standards required by our accreditation. Both the depth and excellence we provide requires much more than government and foundation support. We rely on you – our volunteers and donors - and I can’t thank you enough for your partnership.
Last year LifeWorks celebrated the opening of The Works at Pleasant Valley – a 45 unit apartment complex on the campus of the Sooch Foundation Youth and Family Resource Center. Stable housing enables our residents to engage in on-site case management, mental health and employment services to increase self-reliance. Additionally, many residents benefit from the educational opportunities provided by our neighbor, Austin Community College.
Susan’sLetter
In 2014 LifeWorks launched a landmark effort to track the data associated with our clients and programming. This information deepens our on-going commitment to continuous innovation and impact and establishes a set of data we can use to advocate for programs that work. Too often, policy is formed by very general outputs (e.g., 3-6% of youth in foster care ever graduate from college) that tell us there IS a problem, but gives little if any guidance on HOW to solve it. Our goal is to gather statistics that help us define and then effectively address the problem.
Every week, our data becomes richer, and our focus sharper. While LifeWorks is passionate about doing whatever it takes to help our youth, we exercise the discipline with data to help guide that journey so that our services have impact, and YOUR investment shows real, measurable results.
My thanks for your support and your partnership as we create generational change in the lives of our community’s most vulnerable youth and families.
