Central to our mission is our commitment to equip and mobilize the community.  Our goal is to facilitate the journey from hand-outs (emergency relief) in crisis, to hand-ups (individual betterment) for those ready to rise above their circumstances, to hand-offs (community development) to indigenous leaders of a transformed community.

Internship Program

The Internship program provides two internship tracks: Work Readiness and Community Development.  Our Work Readiness Track provides targeted assistance, resources and training to at-risk individuals seeking to achieve independence, self-sufficiency, and the accomplishment of life goals.  This track serves as a bridge between homelessness and self-sufficiency through empowering interns with the resources they need to take their next steps into sustainable employment.  The Community Development Track allows young adults to work alongside our team and learn how to provide community development at the grassroots level.

"If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging.  If it is giving, give generously.  If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously.  And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly."
- Romans 12:8
