To help youth, adults, and families with life-controlling problems become established in society through faith-based mentoring, counseling, education, and being self-supporting.
Shenandoah Valley Adult Teen Challenge offers a three-phase residential, Christ-Centered Discipleship program. The three phases are academic, application, and reentry.
We strive to create a framework that helps the ones that want to recover to become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive.
HOPE LIVES HERE, FREEDOM IS FOUND HERE, CHANGED LIVES LEAVE HERE.
Long term residential discipleship program for adults (both male and female).
Adult Teen Challenge is a Bible-based program with teachings that focus on the life-changing power brought about by believing and surrendering to a loving God through his son Jesus Christ. Most of our students are unchurched and have little or no knowledge of the Bible. With that in mind, our ministry concentrated particularly on grace, forgiveness and living a Godly life. We purposely shy away from the controversial theological issues that have divided God’s church, choosing rather to focus on the simple truths that are foundational to living the Christian life. These truths are as follows:
The induction fee and monthly tuition costs have been established per individual student. The costs include the intake process, housing, and training of each student. We must raise $18,000 per student that enrolls in our residential program. Not all these costs are passed on to the families of a student that enrolls in SVATC. The reality is that very few families we serve can afford the $18,000 for their lived ones to enter a recovery program. With our 3-phase approach to the program, we have created a way that both the families and students can contribute to the cost of care to ease the, from the students sponsor(whether parent, other family member, church, etc.).
SPONSORS CONTRIBUTION. The financial agreement includes an $1000 intake fee (covers application, intake processing, and curriculum fees) and a monthly contribution of $500 throughout the course of the entire program, which totals up to 12 monthly payments. As stated above, it cost $18,000 to have your loved one in this program for the entire year. Your tuition contribution, along with the separate contributions that your loved ones will be paying monthly towards the $18,000 total.
STUDENTS CONTRIBUTION. As your loved one progresses through the program, they will engage in work assignments and eventually in the second and reentry phases work a fulltime job. These fulltime jobs and employment opportunities provide vital life skills but also mitigate the remaining cost for your loved one. As stated above, it costs $18,000 to have your loved one in this program for the entire year. Your tuition contribution, along with the separate contribution that your loved ones pay go towards the $18,000 total.
FUNDRAISING. You must participate in fundraising events and activities as outlined by the Director, may include car washes, church meetings, fairs, and various contract labor situations. These activities are usually limited to approximately 20 hours per week.
We require that you do your best to help in these ways. The whole program, including assisting with the cost of your care, will require you to put forth full effort. If you are unable to pay anything towards these fees, SVATC will work hard to try and find the support to provide for your care through a limited number of scholarship beds that we may have available.
