MinistriesNew Life Program for Men The Mission offers its residential New Life Rehabilitation u0026#038; Job Readiness Program to homeless men without charge. The New Life Program is comprised of three phases: Phase One – Foundations. In the Foundations Phase, men receive or participate in the following free of charge: food, shelter and clothing; individual and group counseling; drug and alcohol support groups, testing and treatment; job readiness training through a productive work program; daily teaching, seminars and workshops; development of social skills, self discipline and personal responsibility; and our Career Track Learning Program designed to improve necessary educational, life, vocational and job readiness skills. Phase Two – Careers. In the Careers Phase, men continue to receive food, clothing and shelter free of charge while attending off-site vocational training, pursuing employment, and for 3 months after securing full-time employment. In addition, students in the Careers Phase receive vocational counseling, assistance with resume preparation, and help with community resource networking to obtain needed services. The Mission provides funds for public transportation while in school and job hunting, and continues to provide ongoing counseling and support services. Upon completion of this phase, men receive a graduation certificate at a ceremony in their honor. Phaseu0026hellip;
