Project LIVELY is also involved in the community. In conjunction with the University of Kansas, the LIVELY internship program allows students majoring in social work to gain real experience working with older adults, assessing their needs and linking them to services.

Project LIVELY is also a member of the Douglas County Coalition on Aging, made up of community service providers who advocate for older adults and work to coordinate resources so that Douglas County seniors can receive the best care possible.
