WAYS for Life, formerly known as Ready for Life Brevard, is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and drop-in center for youth ages 15-25 in Brevard County, Florida. We provide Wraparound Youth Services (WAYS) to help teens and young adults avoid homelessness and crime. We assist youth in removing barriers to their success by utilizing lifeline support networks.
We help youth find resources and creative solutions to issues such as housing, legal, employment, education, transportation, health care, wellness, and counseling. We understand that until immediate basic needs are met, it is nearly impossible to contemplate the future. We believe all youth should have equal opportunities for a successful future.
WAYS for Life™ was formerly known as Ready for Life Brevard. Ready for Life in Pinellas County was the catalyst that began shaping our amazing organization. We knew our purpose and mission and found Ready for Life Pinellas as the organization model for serving the youth population we wanted to serve.
Over the past few years, our team created a center in Brevard County that follows the 10 guiding principles of the National Wraparound Initiative, to assist youth in their transition to sustainable independence.
Our Wraparound Youth Services (WAYS) reflect what we do at our center every day. WAYS also reflects the expansion of our mission to include youth experiencing homelessness in addition to those transitioning out of foster care.
