Son Care Foundation

At Alpha Academy we help our students create a "map" for their lives. A student s map takes into account: 1) where his life is now, 2) where he would like to go, 3) what road he must take to get there, and 4) the vehicle he must use (college, vocational school, etc.). When a student leaves Alpha, he has a clear destination, and is already taking steps toward that goal. Alpha consists of a work program, leadership training, and one-on-one mentoring. Our work program has several projects designed to teach work values, and also to allow our students to experience many different types of work. We currently have an 80-dog boarding/daycare facility, a vehicle sales business, and 10 acres of agricultural fields. Leadership training and mentoring give our students the opportunity to develop positive life skills. Our aim is not to develop men who can simply take care of themselves; we want to help these men become strong leaders in the home, the community, and the workplace. Alpha s campus is located on a 40-acre ranch in San Luis Obispo; CA. Our capacity is 6 students, who share a 4-bedroom home.
