LifeTown Columbus is a nonprofit education program that provides life, social, and pre-employment skills to students in grades 4-12 with multiple disabilities, including autism. It operates a simulated community environment with a bank, library, park, movie theater, medical offices, store, and other venues in partnership with Columbus City Schools. The setting lets students practice realistic everyday scenarios in a controlled context to reduce social and safety risks while working toward individualized education plan goals. Based in the Columbus, Ohio area, LifeTown has operated since 2008 and relies on volunteer staffing across its ten venues, with about 30-60 students visiting daily and a need for roughly 15-20 volunteers each day. The organization focuses on helping students build life, social, and pre-employment skills that support transitions to adulthood and community participation after graduation.
