The program includes spiritual formation, job training, life skills learning, and parenting education. All food and transportation is provided, as well as medical, dental, and vision assistance. Many volunteers from the local community invest in the women by teaching specific skills through classes offered monthly by spending one-on-one time as a mentor, and by helping residents obtain their own personal goals. Our desired end-result is to equip residents to be fully independent upon graduation from our program, which is approximately 8 months.
