LifeTown’s flagship program is “Lessons for Life.” Centered in LifeTown Shoppes—an indoor Main Street with shops, businesses and more—Lessons for Life allows students to practice their classroom lessons through real-world situations. With volunteers playing shopkeeper, banker, supermarket manager and more, students can work on their social skills, money and time management, communication skills and much more.
