Each student entering into Mission Academy spends the first 4 months of the program focusing on wellness. They will visit the doctor and dentist for health evaluations, begin therapy sessions, and adjust to life at The Mission.
Semester 2
Education & Training
Students then move into the education and training semester of the academy, where they pursue the next level of education or certification needed to achieve their individual goals. This includes higher education and vocational training.
Semester 3
Employment & Housing
Students in the third semester focus on securing employment and a place to live. Each student works closely with their Advocate to find work within their field of interest, as well as a sustainable housing option.
