LifeWorks is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Austin, Texas, operating in the individual and family services sector to support youth and young adults. Each year it serves thousands of young people who have endured abuse, neglect, abandonment, and violence, often within unstable foster-care placements or homelessness. The organization aims to promote self-sufficiency and stronger families through a broad range of services. LifeWorks offers more than 20 programs that can be used alone or in combination to address each client’s goals, including emergency shelter, counseling, education, workforce training, and transitional living. It uses a results-based accountability framework to measure impact and is accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Services to Children and Families. In May 2024, LifeWorks announced the promotion of Liz Schoenfeld, Ph.D., to lead the organization into its next chapter.
