Our Adult Education and Training Program includes LifeNet and Career Services. LifeNet uses assessments and interviews to create a personalized education and job-skills training plan for each individual. Residents of the Mission can further their education in many ways, including obtaining their GED.

Our Career Services team prepares residents for work throughout their educational journey with classes, workshops and individual appointments. They help residents get a job that will lead to financial stability for their eventual transition away from the Mission’s services.
