“All Children Deserve a Chance To Make a Mistake And Learn From It”
- Darius Pettway
History
Life Skool was founded in 2020 with a vision to empower youth, strengthen families, and create positive outcomes within the communities we serve. Originally established as a mentoring program focused on supporting youth at risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system, Life Skool was created to provide guidance, accountability, and opportunities for young people facing significant life challenges.
As community needs evolved, so did our organization. Today, Life Skool has expanded into a comprehensive provider of behavioral health, mentoring, skills development, caregiver support, and case management services for children, adolescents, and families throughout North Texas.
Through evidence-based practices, community partnerships, and a commitment to individualized care, Life Skool has helped hundreds of youth build resilience, improve behavioral health outcomes, strengthen family relationships, and achieve success in school, at home, and within their communities.
While our roots began in prevention and youth advocacy, our mission has grown to serve a broader population of youth and families facing a variety of social, emotional, behavioral, and environmental challenges. We remain committed to creating pathways to success, restoring hope, and empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
Today, Life Skool continues to build stronger youth, stronger families, and stronger communities through compassionate support, meaningful relationships, and lasting impact.
