Welcome to LifeSkills of Canton! We're here to help you earn your high school diploma.
We are located right next to the Canton Memorial Civic Center on Cleveland Avenue, right across the street from Patrick's. Come explore our LifeSkills Center and get your future moving with your high school diploma.
You can get to Canton LifeSkills on SARTA, and students may use incentive tickets to purchase bus passes for transportation to and from school. We also have ample parking around the school.
More than 300 students have graduated from LifeSkills of Canton with their high school diploma! They work at Macy's, The Repository, Goodwill, VFW 3747, Salvation Army, Giant Eagle, Heather Ridge, Lone Star and Jimmy Johns. One former student completed an associate's degree at Stark State, a local college, and is now currently working toward earning a degree in Aviation. Another former student entered the military service and is currently serving our country in Iraq.
As partners in our community, we provide an education option and potential employees for the Stark County area. We participate in food drives with Multi-Development Services and in the Pennies for Patients fundraising program for the Leukemia Society. We proudly march in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival Community Parade, and we help the Red Cross and local hospitals with blood drives.
We've participated in the Juvenile Diabetes regional foundation walks and fundraising programs, and we host volunteer fairs, job fairs and college fairs.
