Men’s Academy

A one-year residential program, plus aftercare—the Academy provides a community that allows men who are seeking life transformation to find support through courses in life skills, relapse prevention, parenting, Biblical foundations, career services, case management, and counseling.

About the Program

The Academy helps men who have been dominated by life circumstances, including but not limited to: homelessness, addictions, abuse, and incarceration. The Academy provides hope for a productive life—an avenue for restoration that can only be found through faith in God.

Rehabilitation

We offer rehabilitation for men who are willing to commit and take steps needed to overcome life-dominating struggles through relapse prevention courses, guidance, and counseling.

Education

We offer men the opportunity to obtain their high school diploma through units or GED. Through our partnership with Fresno City College, men are enrolled as non-credited college students as they pursue their high school diploma, with the opportunity to continue their college education after obtaining it.

Career Development

We provide vocational training, academic programs, and spiritual counseling to those seeking to transform their life with a new career path.

Stories of Restoration

Every day, lives are changed here at the Fresno Mission. Here are just some of the stories of those men, women, and children.

Johnny was born here in Fresno, the second oldest of five kids, to hardworking parents. But though they did their best to raise a loving family, Johnny’s home life could be challenging.
