Lifeology intentionally focuses on building an all-inclusive community, by first recognizing and addressing injustice and violence experienced by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, centering on youth voices, and providing opportunities for continuous learning and evolving of our programs in service to young people.
The Full Mission
Lifeology’s mission is to end youth homelessness by learning, growing, and creating intentional communities where young people can live and thrive. The target population is youth ages 12-24 who are experiencing unsafe/unstable housing or literal homelessness. As the only organization in Maricopa County offering emergency response services and shelter for youth ages 12-17 and housing connection and referral services for 18-24-year-olds, the need is greater than what we can currently meet.
A Bit about Us
We know that early intervention is essential in reducing the impact of individual and community trauma. Lifeology disrupts the cycle of youth homelessness by providing low-barrier, equitable access to shelter and housing services, basic needs, connections to critical resources, social-emotional learning, physical activity enrichment, nutrition and food insecurity resources and meaningful relationships. Lifeology is committed to representing this population, ensuring their voice is heard and listened to.
“We are leaping into grief as if we had embraced it as a form of recreation. We are not what we have lost. We are not what has been taken from us. You are all too willing to embrace the void. If you do not cherish what remains you will all become as nothing. You will be nothing. We are not broken. We are each as whole as we will ever be again. And in the end when we cease to be we will all become memories”.
