Be The Key Program

The “Be The Key” program is designed to empower our clients with essential job training skills to help ensure personal growth and stability. Clients who apply and are accepted attend a 6-8-week course at The Apostles’ House. Upon completion, the client has the option of enrolling in a SORA (Security Officer Registration Act) certification program, an HHA (Home Health Aide) course, or a CDA (Child Development Associate) course, free of charge.

This two-part program commences with an eight-week Women Empowerment Workshop, provided by Beta Alpha Omega Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. to cover topics such as time management, personality assessments, skills assessments, resume writing, interviewing, budgeting, and emotional intelligence. Upon completion, the women then enroll in one of seven certificate courses currently being offered with all fees being covered by The Apostles’ House and partners. With the help of our program coordinator, every woman is able to leave our shelter with job security and the ability to earn a competitive wage.

“Be the Key” graduates gain insight, confidence, and knowledge.  But, most importantly, they gain skills needed for gainful and meaningful employment that is vital to their success once they move beyond the walls of The Apostles’ House.
