Our Trainings
Financial Literacy
Participants gain the tools to rebuild their financial foundation after reentry. This training focuses on budgeting, saving, understanding credit, and developing long-term financial goals.
Our goal is to help each participant move from financial survival to financial stability - empowering them to make informed decisions for themselves and their families.
Life Skills
Life doesn’t come with a manual, but this training helps participants write their own. Through guided discussions and hands-on activities, participants learn how to set achievable goals, manage time, resolve conflict, and make sound decisions that support personal growth and community reintegration.
Soft Skills
Success in the workplace isn’t just about what you know - it’s also about how you show up. This training strengthens communication, teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence, helping participants become job-ready and relationship-ready. These skills are key to keeping employment and maintaining positive connections in life.
Digital Literacy
In collaboration with Beaufort County Community College, this course introduces participants to essential computer and technology skills, from creating resumes and sending emails to using online job platforms and virtual meeting tools. The training bridges the digital gap and builds confidence in navigating today’s tech-driven world.
Parenting Skills
Parenting after incarceration comes with unique challenges, and this class provides practical tools and encouragement. Participants learn how to communicate effectively with their children, build trust, set healthy boundaries, and foster stronger family relationships. The goal is to promote healing, stability, and generational change - one family at a time.
