WE'RE CREATING BETTER WAYS FOR LIFE

In Need of Wraparound Youth Services? 

Welcome to
WAYS for Life

®

WAYS for Life, formerly known as Ready for Life Brevard, is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and drop-in center for youth ages 15-25 in Brevard County, Florida. We provide Wraparound Youth Services (WAYS) to help teens and young adults avoid homelessness and crime. We assist youth in removing barriers to their success by utilizing lifeline support networks. 

​

We help youth find resources and creative solutions to issues such as housing, legal, employment, education, transportation, health care, wellness, and counseling. We understand that until immediate basic needs are met, it is nearly impossible to contemplate the future. We believe all youth should have equal opportunities for a successful future.   

WAYS has served over 180 members and 52 dependents since opening its doors in 2020!

OUR KEY PILLARS.

Our Mission

WAYS for Life provides wraparound services for youth formerly in foster care and those experiencing homelessness. In addition to supporting the successful transition to adulthood, we promote awareness of the needs of our members in our community and beyond.

Our Vision

WAYS for Life envisions a future where all at-risk youth, ages 15-25, have access to comprehensive, wraparound support services that empower them to thrive and become successful, contributing members of society.

Who We Serve

We serve all at-risk youth, ages 15-25, exclusively in Brevard County. Since opening our doors in 2020, we have served over 510 members and more than 213 dependents.
