Join the Rescue
Give a Skill.
Change a Generation.
Your gift does not buy a temporary fix. It buys a trade, a business plan, a mentor, and a future that keeps producing long after the gift is spent.
Finish the Building
$1.7M to full self-sustainability.
We are raising approximately $1,696,000 to complete the main building that will house the interior school space and the businesses connected to the skills we teach. Approximately $600,000 remains to reach this goal.
Inside will be a high-end restaurant and café, a salon and spa, electronics and phone repair, a professional podcast and content studio, and retail shops featuring clothing, shoes, accessories, and locally made goods. This same space will host weddings and events.
Every dollar moves us closer to a school that is not dependent on donations — a school that funds its own rescue work through the excellence of its students and businesses.

We are deeply grateful to every family, church, business, and partner who has given to make this campus possible. This list reflects the major gifts received to date; more partners will be added as we continue to record and honor every contribution.
Ephesians 2:10
“For we are God's MASTERPIECE, created in Christ Jesus to do good works…”
When you give, you are not sponsoring a project. You are agreeing with God about who a young person already is — and paying for the tools to prove it.
Already giving monthly?
Your existing recurring gift continues unchanged. Because your partnership is handled directly through PayPal, nothing on this page affects your current subscription. To update or manage it, simply log into your PayPal account or contact our team.
