Summit County LifeSkills
Session 1: 8:00 - 12:15
Session 2: 12:00 - 4:15
Welcome to LifeSkills of Summit County! We're here to help you earn your high school diploma.
We are located on the west side of Akron, right down the street from the Rolling Acres Mall. If you're coming off the highway, we are off of Rt. 77 (V. Odom Blvd.exit) in the plaza next door to the Aldi Grocery Store. Metro Bus Routes #3, 9, and 14 serve our location. The student/visitor parking is on either side of our building.
Nearly 175 students have earned their state-recognized high school diploma at our LifeSkills. Some of our former students work in restaurants, nursing homes, Akron City Hospital, roofing & construction companies, landscaping businesses, and auto auctions.
Our graduates are caring folks who volunteer at their churches, and, along with the staff, our current students participate in the community. We collect Pennies for Patients (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society), volunteer for the Salvation Army Food & Gift Drive during the Christmas season, and we read to elementary students from the Imagine School.
Come experience LifeSkills for yourself!
