Residents in the Mission’s New Life Program spend up to ten hours a week in our Learning Center, which offers valuable training to help them gain self-sufficiency, fruitful employment, and become successful in greater society.

A key part of our center is the acclaimed Nova Program, which offers a highly structured way for these residents to develop crucial skills, such as:
 

• Core academics
• Goal-setting
• Self-discipline
• Problem-solving
• High school diploma (GED) prep

In the Learning Center, career counseling is also available to New Life Program members, tailored to help them:

• Gain essential life skills
• Define a career path
• Create a résumé
• Develop positive work habits
• Learn to type and use the Internet
• Acquire computer application skills: word processing, spreadsheets and more

Our Learning Center is a key stepping stone to a new and better life for the men and women in our program.  The support we receive from the Greater Long Beach community makes all the difference.
