Hope House
|
This initiative is a complement of innovative programs designed to successfully launch those young men who find themselves un-reunited, un-adopted, and largely unwanted. They have likely been in care for some time and face an unclear and troubling future. Homelessness is a certainty for some. New Beginnings will provide a supervised residence, life and social skill development, employment advocacy and placement, and appropriate postgraduate education. The program will be available to 19 through 21 year olds who are in care, with initiative readiness training during their 18th year. |

| North Georgia New Beginnings currently houses up to 4 young men ages 19–21 in the "Hope House." This is an off-campus environment with a pair of house parents. It is designed to foster freedom while still under the mentoring of the ranch. Young men eligible for this program include any who have demonstrated they can begin living independently and have a desire to develop their life skills, values, faith and use of community resources needed to be successful in the "real world." |
|
| Each young man has a commitment to secondary education, achieving and maintaining transportation, budgeting and learning how to live on his own. The Hope House is a place that empowers and encourages the young men to practice these skills in an environment that is safe and uplifting. This ministry opportunity proves to highly equip older boys with the skills to become successful adults. We look forward to future participants who desire to 'age in' to adulthood and independence. |
