Program Phases
In the Saving Grace program, participants work through six phases. The Pink Shirt and Senior Seminar phases serve as bookends to our program or transitional phases for “Grace.”
The majority of our program takes place in the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior phases, where “Grace” masters valuable skills that build upon one another.
-
“Pink Shirt” is phase one of our program—a time for healing and a fresh start. The Pink Shirt phase puts the brakes on survival mode and provides “Grace” with an opportunity to learn new healthy rhythms and routines. “Grace” spends time in counseling, contributing to the community farm alongside the other girls in Pink Shirt, and laying a foundation for her move to freshman phase in a few short months. This is the restorative phase that prepares “Grace” for all the hard work ahead!
-
As a freshman in Money Management, “Grace” may learn about the banking system by opening her first account. In the Sophomore and Junior phases, she will likely be learning how to save, and spend, what a balanced budget looks like and how to manage a budget in different life stages. When she reaches the senior phase, she learns about much more complex subjects like wealth management and compounding growth. Each phase builds upon the next, leading her closer to independence and lasting generational change.
-
The Senior Seminar phase is the final step before embarking on her own! During this time, “Grace” will begin to live as if she was on her own but still in the safety of our program. This is a sweet space where we see “Grace” fly AND offer her a safe place to fail should she need more time.
