Zaneta Alexander
Lifeology AZ, Inc.
Building a youth continuum.
Zaneta Alexander is the CEO and Co-Founder of Lifeology AZ, Inc., a nonprofit in Maricopa County, Arizona, dedicated to ending youth homelessness. Under her leadership, Lifeology has built a youth continuum that connects young people to safety, stability, and opportunities for independence. She brings firsthand experience building programs and partnerships to help other communities strengthen their own youth continuum.
How the continuum connects
From Safe Place community access points and 24/7 crisis response to Life House emergency shelter, shared transitional housing, and workforce development, Lifeology connects youth and young adults to support that grows with them. Case management, education connections, family support, and aftercare help bridge each transition toward stability and independence.
These services are coordinated and responsive to individual needs — not a requirement that every young person completes a rigid sequence.
Honored for community impact
Lifeology's work connecting youth to safety and stability has been recognized by community and foundation partners.
Lifeology AZ — 2026 eWomenNetwork Foundation Grant Recipient
Awarded a $6,000 grant and full attendance at the eWomenNetwork ICON Conference & Expo in Dallas, where Zaneta accepted on the ICON stage.
Lifeology AZ — The Rosendin Foundation 2023 Grant Recipient
A $10,000 grant supporting emotional health for the young people Lifeology serves.
The Rosendin Foundation — 2023 Annual Grant RecipientsLifeology AZ is grateful to be a returning grantree of The Rosendin Foundation. The Rosendin Foundation has not only given to our young people financially, but through their actions in our community, they continued to ensure that our young people in the various systems of care continued to be seen, heard, and valued.
— Zaneta Alexander, Chief Executive Officer
