How It Works

TRYOUTS: MENTAL TOUGHNESS WEEK

Mental Toughness Week is our version of tryouts and lasts five days. You’ll participate in physical and mental conditioning designed to push you outside your comfort zone and test your character. If you demonstrate the right effort and attitude, we know you have what it takes to be successful in the program. You can expect:

Physical training
Team-building exercises
Personal interview

You’ll know on Friday of Mental Toughness Week if you are accepted into the program.

40-Day Challenge

The 40-Day Challenge starts immediately after you’re accepted to the program. You’ll be living on our campus in dorm-style housing. We provide food, transportation, and share the responsibility of chores and cooking. Every weekend, you’ll participate in a service project or adventure outing.

Each day, you’ll spend time in the classroom, participating in financial literacy, work readiness, construction skills, and Bible study classes. You’ll earn three construction-industry certifications and learn everything you need to know to get a job, manage your money, and be the best version of yourself.

Get To Work & Make Money

We help you secure a full-time job that pays well and has benefits with one of our Job Partners. Most of our guys have full-time employment after just eight weeks in the program.

You’ll be getting a steady paycheck, so you can work toward buying a car with cash and saving an emergency fund. You’ll have a new mindset and the confidence to clearly see the path to standing on your own two feet.

GRADUATION

To successfully complete the program, you must have:

4 months of continuous employment
Court fees and fines paid off
Driver’s license acquired or reinstated
Car and insurance purchased with cash
$1,500 emergency fund saved

You can do it. We’ll help you get there.
