LIFE, Inc. is proud to be a partner with Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA) in Pathways to Partnerships (P2P). The mission for the partnership is to substantially improve training and preparation of children and youth with disabilities in Georgia to eventually obtain and maintain competitive integrated employment (CIE) in conjunction and coordination with other state, local and private entities.

Pathways to Partnerships has three goals to accomplish the mission:

• Goal 1: Increase children and youth with disabilities and their families’ ability to access available resources to achieve positive post-secondary outcomes and competitive integrated employment (CIE) through participation in innovative P2P instructional programming.
• Goal 2: Foster strategic collaborations and partnerships among entities (GVRA, CILs, LEAs, SEA, and other youth service professionals) to promote shared accountability for children and youth with disabilities. Developing a seamless transition system that supports both individuals and providers, while identifying and removing barriers, leveraging unique strengths, increasing capacity, and fostering collective collaboration among all entities involved.
• Goal 3: Increase children and youth with disabilities and their families’ ability to access available resources to achieve positive post-secondary outcomes and competitive integrated employment (CIE) through systematic outreach and sharing of available resources in local communities and state.
