About L.I.F.E. Services_**
L.I.F.E. stands for
Learning,
Inclusion,
Friendship and
Employment. The program is part of CLBC's Community Inclusion category of services.

It is available to anyone served by CLBC who has an employment goal, and who also want support to increase confidence and independence, connect to the community, learn new things, build friendships and a network of natural support around them.

L.I.F.E.

Services are designed to respond to the natural rhythm of a person's life, and adjusts supports provided over time in response to people's changing goals and needs.

The supports offered through L.I.F.E. services enable people to personalize, direct and evaluate their services in a way that works for them.

Guide works closely with people who use the service to co-design, deliver, evaluate and continually improve the effectiveness of the service.

L.I.F.E.

Services focus on a blend of supports aimed at assisting people to achieve their ambitions related to employment, community connection and lifelong learning.

L.I.F.E. service strategies incorporate the development and strengthening of informal support networks and personal skill and confidence enhancement.

_We think the Guide is someone who would describe themselves like this _

"I have a knack for unconventional problem solving and huge reservoir of ideas I am eager to share. I am up to date on all the
_current_ best practices around supporting people to connect in community, expand their informal support circles and find work, and yet I am ready to push forward and invent the
_next_ best practices. My knowledge, experience and insights fuel my forward movement rather than anchor me in place.

And_**, I am happy with a flexible work schedule based within Greater Vancouver/Lower Mainland. I am savvy with technology and comfortable connecting with others virtually.

And, _**I have the energy and optimism to start something new
