Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Patriot Residential Program
The one-year residential program is a golden opportunity to move past trauma and transition challenges into a lifetime of personal and professional contribution and success. After a month of orientation and assessment, Valor Farm “Patriots” move through three 12 week “trimesters” which focus on resilience, trauma recovery, and career preparation. Patriots also take electives based on personal needs and interests-equine therapy, financial literacy, family relationships, topical Bible studies, nutrition, sleep management, pain management, and others. Assisted by mentors, each Patriot constructs a Personal Development Plan to track individual goals and progress. The desired outcomes from the community living, dignified work, technical training, and overall wellness culture include successful professional transition, healthy work-life balance, wholesome family relationships, and expanded inner resources: relevant faith, positive contribution to society and service as a mentor to others.
