Our educational life skill program uses  a curriculum which offers fun, interactive classes in anger management, self-esteem, networking, money and job skills, goal setting, how to choose friends, and many other subjects.  We also provide mentoring through our senior mentoring projects. Tutoring in math and english is available.  We do field trips on occasion to various community events, symphony, concerts, restaurants, etc.  We build a sense of "family and community" into our program.  These classes are taught after school in both public and private school settings.

Our basic bible study provides a foundation for lifelong character change and spiritual guidance.  Our "family" generally prays together, but it is not a mandatory practice for anyone.  All are accepted.  We learn basic biblical principles and their application.

This is an immediate need.    Sarah's Place is so named after my deceased mother, who spent a good many years of her life serving others.  She took in people who had no place to live, fed many folks who were just hungry and down on their luck.  Many times she housed and fed musicians who would work in our town, Cleveland, Ohio.  Because of this rich legacy, we had people of all nationalities living with us at one time or another. 

Sarah's Place is to be a temporary shelter, "a home away from home" while women and children are in a transitory place in their lives.  Also, with the housing market crunch, it will help people who were living in homes that were foreclosed.

The director, spent time training in a transition home, in preparation for developing Sarah's Place.
