The duties of a community services worker involve arranging community gatherings and helping clients who need counseling. Additional responsibilities may include administering food banks, helping people obtain certain benefits and services, such as welfare, and aiding community members in accessing medical care.
Providing emotional support to clients is also important in this role.
The Life Center will serve on the urban west end of Atlanta Georgia in the Collier Heights neighborhood as a holistic health and wellness center.
The center will provide out-patient medical care, mental health services, alternative therapies, youth activities, a planted-based cafe, fresh fruit juice bar, fitness gym, local produce grocery outlet & community garden, nutrition market, shared work spaces, youth recreation and a hub for several health focused non-profit organizations.
The center will be a safe haven for immigrants and the underserved who need assistance and resources. No one will be turned away because of finances.
The building will also be designed as a micro grid and resiliency hub for the city of Atlanta during disasters.
Our Vision for the Life Space Project
We envision providing innovative access to holistic health and the elevation of the community health consciousness and practice. Thus our mission is to provide access to holistic health and education for marginalized families in or near the historic Collier Heights neighborhood of west Atlanta Georgia. This means our model will be crafted to reach the muli-ethnic and inter-religious audience present in the area. In addition, our ministry model will seek equitable access and resources for all. Our ministry philosophy is rooted in restorative justice where we value equity, access, quality, service, and innovation. We seek to give “access to life”.
We will accomplish this by the assembly of partners from within our organization and the stakeholders in the community. We will seek to raise the necessary funds to renovate our building at 294 Hamilton E Holmes Drive Northwest, to provide a one-stop quality holistic health care experience.
The first phase of the project will focus primarily on the medical care portion of the building.
