Welcome to LifeSkills of Youngstown! We are here to help you earn your high school diploma.
LifeSkills of Youngstown is located on Market Street, next to AutoZone and across the street from the All In One beauty salon. You can reach LifeSkills via Western Reserve Transit Authority, or if you drive, there's plenty of parking in front and on the side of the building.
We've had about 500 young people earn their high school diploma at LifeSkills of Youngstown. Some of them are employed at Covelli Center, George Town, Molly Maid, Auntie's Anne's Pretzels, Wendy's, McDonald's, Ceci's Pizza, JCPenney, Golden Corral, nursing homes, home health providers, hospitals, MYCAP daycare, and the United States Armed Forces.
We believe all of our students who have received a high school diploma are success stories. We have students that are enrolled in Youngstown State University and ITT Tech. One of our students is currently a semester away from graduating from college with a degree to become a school teacher.
LifeSkills is a hub of community activity. We host block watch meetings as well as employment and health fairs at the school. We are a site for Youngstown State University social work interns, and we open the school for community events such as Unity In The Community Parade. We participated in the annual city Family Reunion hosted by a local radio station. Our Enrollment Specialists have given presentations at the Salvation Army.
