What We Do
After School Club
Our tutoring program for children K-5th grade. Our goal is for each student to increase his or her capacity to learn and grow through tutoring, mentoring and life skill training. Each child is in an atmosphere of safety and security through a loving environment. This gives each child a chance to dream and set goals according to what they have been created to be in life!

Claude Street Shelter
We offer temporary housing to families in need for 90 days. Each family is assigned a Life Mentor Team Member from Truth-In-Action to work with them from 4 months to a year. They then connect each family with a network of help such as financial counseling, GED training, job and housing resources as well as family services.
Truth In Action
Our mission is to revitalize communities one family at a time, putting truth in action! Life Mentor Team members make a 4 month to one-year commitment with each family/individual. Our objective is to network them with transitional housing, financial counseling, GED training, job resourcing and family services. The goal is to advance them from surviving to thriving.
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.
