Life Skills Institute

For neighbors who are unemployed, reentering the workforce involves navigating barriers. We are here to knock down barriers through skill development, job readiness training, and assistance with transportation.

What We Provide

The Life Skills Institute was created to help our neighbors learn skills that are needed to live well.  We host a number of free classes that help our neighbors develop practical skills for living, including how to keep a healthy home environment, budgeting, career strengthening, and basic computer classes.

Thank You!

Life Skills Institute is thankful for all our volunteers, instructors, and partners from the City of Lynchburg, Virginia Career Works, First National Bank, & Virginia Cooperative Extension that make what we do possible.
