ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

We walk alongside victims of domestic abuse to help them identify, recover from, and resist abusive relationships through support groups and classes for women and teens from abusive contexts. We partner with BIOLA’s Center for Marriage & Relationships (CMR) by providing teaching and self-defense courses with Tim Muelhoff.

All prospective teachers are required to regularly attend the support group, contribute to it’s community, complete training through Women’s Transitional Living Center (WTLC), and attend team meetings.
  • Classroom Helper: We are looking for individuals who can help out with lesson plans, handing out papers, doing crafts, but most of all are dedicated to consistently walking alongside others who have come from hard places.
