Who We Are
The Youth Challenge Women's program consists of 12-15 months of training at the Bettye Collier Women's Home. The program helps restore the lives of women that have been devastated by drugs and alcohol. There are various educational opportunities such as G.E.D. classes and community based training groups. Bible training is also an integral part of the program.
In addition to the day to day upkeep of the facility, the women play a major role in the operation of the Youth Challenge Thrift Store, and also are active in various other community service projects.
Upon completion of the program students can opt to stay on as an intern and or can enter the re-entry program, where they will be offered assistance with job placement, continued education, housing, etc.
