Community Service
Is designed to bring individuals that have been assigned by the court or educational institutions into a transformational environment. These individuals help within the facility that houses all our social service programs as well as getting involved in the programs themselves. We find that when people help those who are less fortunate they begin to see there is more to this world than themselves. In helping others we help ourselves.
