LIFETIME provides client services through the PEER Program (Peer Empowerment and Education Retention), which encompasses client outreach and education, counseling, case management, client advocacy, and referral. The program services CalWORKs and other low-income parents in the Bay Area and throughout California. LIFETIME's PEER Advocates provide clients with guidance, tools, resources, and the support necessary to navigate the welfare system and access education and employment opportunities.
