Program areas at OURM

See schedule o for a complete description of all program service accomplishments.the Mission provides meals, lodging, clothing, career training, educational courses and spiritual guidance to the needy. The o.u.r Mission home is a 202-bed facility which offers transitional housing (both long-term and short-term) for single women, single mothers and single fathers with children, and husbands and wives with children. Residents are required to successfully complete career learning center requirements, to either be actively pursuing further education or gainfully employed, to save 75% of all income in their Mission savings account of which 100% of the funds are released to the resident upon move-out as down payment for housing, to complete their daily chores around the Mission and keep their rooms clean at all times, and to attend weekly chapel services and become actively involved in the local church of their choice. Each resident of o.u.r. Mission home is assigned a case manager who helps map out a customized program for permanent recovery and walks with the family until they can stand on their own.men living on the streets in need of safe shelter are welcomed to the Mission's emergency program for 14 free nights after which they are required to enter the Mission long-term program or seek other accomodations. The 40-bed dormitory for emergency guests is occupied each night on a first-come, first-served basis to anyone not under the influence of a controlled substance. Each guest receives the following services: nutritious meals, clean clothing, hot showers, safe shelter, nightly bible studies and christian mentoring. These broken men are taking the first step toward recovery by seeking emergency services and are treated with christ-like respect and dignity throughout their stay. Homeless men desiring to change their lives for good can enroll in the Mission's discipleship program. Applicants are screened to determine their level of commitment and their capacity to benefit from the program. Outreach - each sunday, the Mission opens its doors to those needing encouragement. The hour of power weekly chapel service is a special time when men on and off our programs are welcomed to hear an uplifting message from god's word alongside inspiring music. Each month, the Mission works with local inner-city neighborhoods to conduct periodic area clean-up workdays, national night out programs, and events for special occasions and holidays like martin luther king day and black history month. For those events, the Mission guests and staff usually provide general services and often cook and serve meals to all the participants. Discipleship work program - discipleship training consists of intensive christian instruction and mentorship along with work therapy designed to develop self-discipline, work ethic and accountability. Each man is assigned job responsibilities at the Mission in order to gain stability and work experience.the arthur j. And marie h. williams family life center is located adjacent to o.u.r. Mission home. This 23,000-square-foot facility includes three classrooms, a computer laboratory, tutoring room, library, nursery, youth recreation room, gymnasium, salon and exercise area. The arthur j. And marie h. williams family life center also includes the following educational program for men, women, and children at the Mission: 1. The career learning center (clc) is a self-paced, educational program for all adult residents at o.u.r. Mission home and all men participating in the discipleship program at the men's division. The three-tiered program begins with an extensive education assessment and memory course which builds the foundation for further learning. Next, residents are required to either prepare for a high school diploma or complete an academic refresher course through computer-enhanced, self-instructional curriculum and mastery-based learning techniques. Upon completion, students are better prepared to continue with higher education in local colleges, universities or technical schools. Finally, after all academic courses are completed, students begin the career placement phase of the program where they learn interviewing techniques, resume writing skills, how to dress for success, and how to seek and obtain a job. 2. Youth learning center - constantly changing schools can set children up for educational failure - they are twice as likely to repeat a grade, twice as likely to experience learning disabilities and three times as likely to be categorized with emotional and behavioral problems (source: national center on family homelessness). In a continuing effort to meet the needs of the homeless in our community, the Mission's newest addition is an 11-station children's computer lab designed to help children ages 5-16 achieve satisfactory school performance. This new faith-based computer software helps to improve children's critical thinking skills, reading and listening comprehension, and teamwork building. Since its implementation, the program has proven extremely successful in helping homeless children achieve and even exceed grade level performance. Homeless children often have a difficult time staying up with grade level. Meet some of the children at the Mission and see how our youth learning center helps them keep up with their schoolwork through the continued generosity of the margaret mccartney and r. parks williams foundation.the moody chapel and activity center: the first, and most important step in becoming self sufficient and creating a new life is a relationship with christ. The moody chapel and activity center enables the Mission to conduct bible studies, worship services and other educational courses, which are offered to homeless men, women and children who are struggling to get back on their feet and gain self sufficiency.o.u.r. Bargain store provides:1. Discounted items for the general public.2. A source of income to operate the mission.3.
