About Us
The Independent Living Services (ILS) Alliance is a growing nationwide network connecting teens and young adults with professionals, businesses, and life-changing opportunities. Through mentorship, job training, and real-world exposure to various industries, we help equip youth with the tools and support needed for success. Our partners go beyond just listing their services, they engage directly with young people, offering guidance, job-shadowing, and even career pathways.
Our Mission
The mission of the ILS Alliance is to empower teens and young adults by connecting them with professionals, businesses, and opportunities that support their personal and professional growth. Through mentorship, hands-on experiences, and a nationwide network of committed partners, we strive to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and relationships they need to build independent, successful lives.
Our People
The success of the Alliance is made possible by a dedicated community of individuals, business owners, and local leaders who believe in the potential of our youth. These partners do more than support, they actively engage. By offering mentorship, sharing their expertise, opening their workplaces for job-shadowing, and participating in in-person or virtual meetings, they help guide teens and young adults toward brighter futures.
