Life House announced the hiring of Amber Sadowski as its new executive director today.
Sadowski previously worked at Life House from 2015-2022 and served as the operations director from March-June of 2024. In total, she brings almost nine years of nonprofit experience, seven years of running her own business, and many years of community board, committee and volunteer work. Amber is mission-driven and looks forward to working with a program-centered leadership team with youth at the heart of important programmatic, fiscal, or operational decisions.
Since 1991, Life House has been committed to supporting young people experiencing homelessness and other life challenges. The organization aims to reconnect homeless and street youth to their dreams. The vision is that no young person will be left alone, uncared for, or fending for themselves on the streets.
In 2023, Life House served more than 800 unduplicated youth through our four core programs.
“I am honored to be selected as the new Executive Director of Life House,” Sadowski said. “I love our mission and vision and believe in it 100%. The impact of our work is captured by our data, and we are also grateful to get to see it in the lives of the young people we serve. I look forward to working collaboratively with our staff, board, and community partners,”
As Executive Director, Amber will be responsible for program development, administration, staff relations, marketing/pr, fiscal management and facilities management.
“I am thankful for the work of prior Executive Directors, especially Mary Robillard, the founder of Life House, who saw a great community need and took the initiative to address it,” Sadowski said.
Over the course of 33 years, Life House has grown from a Drop-in Youth Center to a comprehensive service model including Housing, Mental Health & Wellness, and Education and Employment services. – Life House press release
