There is no greater honour, no bigger privilege than partnering with children, young people, and families to positively impact their lives.

Life Without Barriers can offer you a wealth of opportunities. In fact, we have had Operations Managers, Program Managers, Child and Family Practitioners and Case Managers who kicked off their careers with LWB as Youth Workers.
