Our services at Walking in by Faith are built around a three-tier mentoring model that supports personal growth, accountability, and independence. Each tier helps participants strengthen life skills, emotional awareness, and confidence while building lasting connections with mentors and community resources.
The Life Step begins with discovery and stability. Over the first 30 days, participants complete an assessment, develop a personalized Life Plan, and engage in consistent mentoring and therapeutic support. This stage focuses on understanding strengths, setting goals, and creating structure for success through daily check-ins, reflection, and guided planning.
The Accountability Step centers on growth and responsibility. During this phase, participants build consistency through mentoring, therapy, education, or employment. They attend skill-building classes, group sessions, and community engagement activities that promote healthy decision-making and character development. Mentors walk alongside participants, reinforcing boundaries, resilience, and positive habits that prepare them for independence.
The Independent Step empowers participants to apply what they have learned and live out their goals. Mentorship continues through regular check-ins, career and financial planning, and ongoing emotional support. Participants work toward long-term stability, healthy relationships, and purpose-driven living. Even after completion, Walking in by Faith maintains follow-up support for up to three months, ensuring every individual knows they are not walking alone.
Each step represents growth—moving from structure to independence—while maintaining a connection to faith, purpose, and community.
Walking in by Faith provides personalized mentoring designed to meet each youth where they are. Our mentors offer consistent, compassionate guidance that helps youth build confidence, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop essential life skills for independence. Sessions focus on self-discovery, goal setting, decision-making, and navigating real-world challenges. Through trust-based relationships, we empower young people to recognize their worth, embrace accountability, and take meaningful steps toward a stable and purpose-driven future.
Walking in by Faith offers group sessions grounded in harm reduction and the credible messenger approach. These safe, structured spaces allow participants to grow through shared experiences and reflection with mentors who understand their journey. Group options include DBT Skills, Re-Wire CBT Skills, Self-Care and Resilience, Human Trafficking Prevention, and Healthy Relationships. Each group builds awareness, emotional strength, and community while promoting safety, healing, and empowerment.
Walking in by Faith provides short-term housing designed to help individuals and families find stability and move toward long-term independence. Our housing program offers safety, structure, and connection to community resources while teaching practical skills for budgeting, goal setting, and maintaining stable housing. Each stay serves as a bridge toward lasting security, self-sufficiency, and hope for the future.
