New Faith Family Center
Of the many programs and services offered by The Capital City Rescue Mission the one program that I would like to focus on is The New Faith Family Center. This program is a yearlong residential, transitional program consisting of four phases to help up to 35 women and their children change old patterns and transform their lives. Women and children are welcomed in an atmosphere that reflects the love of Christ. Every Family is provided with a comfortable apartment while they focus on life changes. This program includes: Educational/Career development, Employment readiness, Counseling, Life skills/Addiction Recovery, Parenting skills / Anger management, Health Care and Child care. The program uses data and performance measurement tools to evaluate and improve the regional systematic and programmatic responses to individual and family homelessness, unemployment and overall need for assistance. The program also teaches individuals and families the skills to survive in today's world.
The program sounds nice and the stories of hope sound inspirational and heartwarming. The problem is that testimonies are biased and may be contrived. They're certainly one-sided. One needs to have a scientific evaluation on the program conducted in order to evaluate its efficacy and see, if indeed, it is measurably helping its clients and, if so, in which ways. It would also be valuable to assess the impact of the program that the New Faith Family Center uses and compare its approach to others. It may well be that another approach may prove more beneficial for the Center than the one it is currently employing.
The purpose of this study is to use empowerment and social learning theories to evaluate the New Faith Family Center program to determine whether single mothers with mental illness who are simultaneously homeless could (1) learn life skills in the areas of Education / Career development, employment, budgeting, addiction Recovery, parenting skills / anger management, Health Care and child care and (2) retain their knowledge and skills three to six months after completing the intervention.

The ability to transform an organization to the next level, through specific leadership techniques, and to have the vision to carry out the task, is called transformational leadership. Transformational leaders influence by becoming the teacher, mentor and/or coach -- or a combination, rather than a hierarchical tyrant.

The career that interests me is leading a non-profit organization or a non-governmental organization (NGO). This career is attractive to me because these NGOs and non-profits often sponsor health, educational and social services to the people who cannot afford them, essentially improving the world in a humane fashion.
