Women's Program

About this Program

This is a 12 month residential program rooted in a bible-based curriculum. The first six months are free. The Ark will provide room, board and all necessities at no cost. During this time residents are required to attend daily classes, they will receive mental health counseling, engage in duties on campus and obtain their GED. Residents are not allowed to have a job during this time.  

Advancing through the Program

Upon graduation from tier one, residents will be required to pay $108 per week for the duration of their stay. During this phase we assist residents with enrolling in college, technical or vocational school, obtaining their driver's license, ID, job training, job placement, budget planning and more. Residents will have a mentor assigned to assist in their progression through our program.  

The Goal

The goal at the end of this program is for our residents to transform their lives. Our residents become independent, contributing members of society equipped with the the tools to  discover their God-given purpose and live out that very purpose.
