Project L.I.V.E.
Lifelong Independence and Vocational Education — a 100% community-based transition program within the School District of Holmen designed for young adults with special needs between the ages of 18–21. Located within the R.W. Houser YMCA, our program supports students in all areas of transition as they move from high school into adult life.
About Project L.I.V.E.
Since 2010, Project L.I.V.E. has provided hands-on, real-world learning experiences in a safe, supportive environment. Our students are active every day—managing finances, preparing for employment, learning healthy habits, and developing meaningful social connections.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide every student with boundless opportunities to learn, explore, and experience the real world every day. Through community involvement, vocational work, workforce training, daily living skills, and real-time lessons in their own community, Project L.I.V.E. strives to help each participant become a respectful, responsible, and productive member of society.
Classroom Without Walls
In L.I.V.E., the real learning takes place outside the classroom. Students give back through community service, gain experience through job training, and grow through everyday life experiences. They’re not just preparing for the future—they’re living it now.
Why It Matters
Project L.I.V.E. celebrates the strengths, talents, and potential of every student. We aim to show the world that individuals with special needs are vital members of our community. Since 2010, our students have consistently redefined what’s possible—making a lasting impact through dedication, compassion, and achievement.
