Introducing LifeLab... Latitude's Community Access Program

What does LifeLab do?
LifeLab matches an adult mentor with a person living with disabilities to create a mentoring partnership. Our LifeLab Mentors provide a wide variety of community supports which enable people to experience life as independently as possible. LifeLab believes in the importance of contributing to our community through service, advocacy and by fully appreciating the rich public resources our community is endowed with.

LifeLab Mentors work with participants to accomplish goals for community involvement and to develop strategies for giving back to our community.  

Promoting healthy lifestyle choices, a belief in the power and necessity of educational and cultural opportunities and advocating for our own essential rights, result in an individual who is fully regarded as a contributing member of our society. 

In these ways we gain increasing measures of independence.....
