CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| 4:13 Strong is looking to increase the success rate of participants beyond the program. Typically, men spend 6-8 months living on-campus, working, and being held accountable to their commitments by each other and 4:13 Strong staff. In order to improve this long-term outlook, 4:13 Strong is developing a transitions program for men to live on campus one-year beyond program graduation, particularly for those participants who are previously court-involved. This opportunity will allow participants a safe place to live, while continuing to work towards their personal and professional goals. This opportunity will also allow more time for men to develop habits of accountability for themselves. |
