*Programming time and class subject depends on volunteer availability and may change throughout the year
Volunteer
Our Life Skills classes are taught by volunteers who graciously give of their time and talents to pour into the lives of these precious women. Thank you to all current and past volunteers for giving your time in this way. If you are interested in teaching a class as a special session or a regular program, please Contact Us.
Cooking Class
This class is held weekly on Wednesday mornings at the Guiding Light home and is taught by volunteers or house moms. This class emphasizes home-cooked meals that nourish the body and use minimally processed ingredients whenever possible. We believe that when you feed yourself and your family well, you are setting yourself up for success in the short and long term. We learn SO MUCH from our residents and look forward to this class each week! Cooking class is also a relaxed time for sharing and getting to know one another while our hands are busy.

Arts and Crafts
This is one of our residents’ favorite classes!! It is held twice a month on Tuesday evenings at Guiding Light and run by volunteers or house moms. Arts and Crafts night is a time for residents focus on something positive and healthy while allowing them to express themselves. If you would like to help support this class, basic craft supplies or donations of gift cards to Hobby Lobby or Michael’s is always appreciated. Please contact us if you’d like to support specific program needs.
>>>We currently need a teacher 1 time a month on Tuesday at 6pm! Contact us!<<<
Finance
Finance is an important topic to cover and is held twice a month on Tuesday evenings. We believe that understanding how to budget is a skill that EVERYONE can brush up on from time to time! Be good stewards of your money and what God has given you!
