Who We Are
Who We Are
Welcome to Learn 'In to Live Again (LILA). We are a community-based organization focusing on the rehabilitation and job training of citizens living in Maryland.
Many areas in Baltimore City and surrounding counties are distressed. People who are doubly affected by social issues are citizens released from Maryland prisons who cannot find a way to rejoin society. We exist to bridge that gap.
