The Restoration program here at Youth Challenge  is a highly structured twelve (12) month journey. This journey includes a three phase process:

Phase 1: The Individual will spend the first two (2) months of his restoration program as a student here at the Youth Challenge Hope Center. He will live among the students and do everything the first time students are required to do. In addition to that, the restoration student will attend three additional weekly meetings that will cater to the issues one faces when being restored. This phase is intended to cultivate a humble and contrite heart.

Phase 2: The Restoration student will then be given the opportunity to move to a specialized dorm where they will be given more responsibility and freedom. During the next four (4) months the Restoration student will work within the ministry becoming a student leader. The Restoration student will continue with the three (3) extra meetings a week as well as attendance to all church services and ministry outings. During this time the Restoration student begins to deal with transition back into society. The Restoration student is subject to the leadership of the Youth Challenge   staff during this time, we do not take shepherding God's flock lightly.

Phase 3: Finally the Restoration student will be given the opportunity to apply for a six (6) month internship here at Youth Challenge , or go out into the workforce while they stay here at the Youth Challenge Hope Center. For the next six (6) months the Restoration student is still obligated to all weekly meetings as mentioned above. During this time the individual is given the opportunity to save money while continuing to cultivate their relationship with God.

We are confident in God's ability to keep His people from addiction. Our prayer is that the Restoration student (as with any student) would see the seriousness of their sin in light of God's holiness. Only then will that individual fall before God broken and ready for change. This program provides a highly structured platform to accomplish this. If you are considering our restoration program come prepared to be broken and put back together by the God who saves!
