I relish my involvement with such an innovative organization. WorkLife is actually doing something to solve the problems of 'making it' in today's world. How many times have we lamented about how hard life is--not to mention when your car doesn't start, a computer glitch cuts off your temporary food stamps, or you just need one more college class to complete your degree but can't come up with the registration fee at the beginning of the semester?! WorkLife's Navigators are solving these problems and more, directly in the workplace.
