COACHING FUTURE HUSBANDS, FATHERS, AND LEADERS TODAY
 While most homes will label themselves as “residential centers”, “transitional homes” or “treatment programs”, we choose not to. We don’t even consider ourselves to be a “program”. Instead, we are an outreach to young men with need of redirection, providing them with the tools they need to excel in life. More than just resocialization, our philosophy is centered around coaching young men and helping them make wise decisions for themselves.
Studies have shown that when youth are encouraged through positive peers, they are less susceptible to negative behavioral situations and temptations(The Asset Approach, Search Institute, 2006, www.search-institute.org/communities). Mentoring is a strong focus in our home with many of the alumni staying as long as three years. They serve as interns, residential advisors, and volunteers. Encouraging the gifts and talents in youth is what helps them use those skills in positive leadership versus negative activity.
The Search Institute shares that positive peer mentoring is extremely beneficial. “As we work together on behalf of young people we ensure that they receive consistent messages and treatment,” they say. Such community nurturing is what LOGOS and our home is all about. |

With LOGOS (Life Outlook Goals & Overcoming Strategies), young men have the opportunity to re-examine their lives and find true purpose and destiny. Whether it is completing high school, obtaining a GED, going to college, or receiving vocational training, our home is available to help each young man find positive outlets for growth.
