Family Gatherings are every Wednesday from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

At this time, we cannot accept any sexual based felonies into the program. And while we do accept those with other felonies in their background, it could prevent you from participating in the skill training of your choice.

We are a Christian non-profit, which means there are optional faith components in our program. Many of our staff will talk about their relationship with God as part of their story during class, but it is not required to be religious.

No, Leaders must be able to speak English to enroll in our program.

Elevate Life Network's program is completely onsite, either at the Westbrook Park Church campus or another training partner.

Yes, you need a computer with a camera/microphone built into it for our class. A basic understanding of how to maneuver your computer and use its functionalities is required (powering it on/off, opening up Google and using Google Docs/Slides/Powerpoint/etc.)

We do have some computers for use while on site, but these cannot leave the facilities.

Skills offered vary by class. Your pre-coaching session, a phone call with a Coach before the class begins, will give you exact details for the skill tracks offered for your class. You can view all of our career track options here.

No, this program is at zero cost to you. 

When you have completed 70% of your Skill Track studies, you will begin actively looking for a job. While we have a Career Professional actively building networks within our Skill Tracks, you will need to apply for these jobs. It is up to you to look, apply and land the job. You need to get a job before the class graduation date.

You need to be working full time in the skill track you were trained for in order to graduate. 

The stipend is a financial gift from us to you that is performance based. You can earn up to $24 a week.  It is paid every two weeks (twice/month on Fridays). You must have a bank account for the stipend to be directly deposited.

A Leader is a program participant or student. You are leading the change in your life.

Coaches are Elevate Life Network staff/volunteers who are here to walk the road with you. You will check in weekly with your Coach and will have at least one extended meeting time with your Coach monthly.

Allies are community volunteers who serve as an added layer of support to you. You will meet them and engage with them the most during Family Gathering.

Family Gathering is a mandatory time where our classes come together for dinner and community building on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00pm. Childcare is provided during this time with a meal for the kids as well. 

Childcare can be applied for through Westbrook Park Place Daycare housed at Westbrook Park Church. Childcare will be limited, but will be provided during Wednesday night Family Gatherings on a NEED-ONLY basis. If you need childcare on Wednesday nights (if you have no other childcare options), please fill out a childcare application. If approved, you would be able to take advantage of childcare during those Wednesday nights. If you have other options for childcare (i.e. family members, babysitters, friends, etc.) we ask that you utilize those other options so that those who really need childcare can access it.

The main reason that people drop out is because the required schedule is not conducive to their life and they cannot comply with attendance requirements. You do not have to pay us back if you drop out.
