How our Program Works?

At Teen Challenge, we believe in transforming lives through the power of Christ. Our 10 to 12-month Christian program is designed to meet the unique needs of each teenager, providing a holistic approach to healing and personal growth. From a structured daily routine to individualized academic and discipleship tracks, we focus on your teen’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.


We offer more than a temporary fix. Our Five-Level Leadership Training Process ensures that your child receives focused discipleship and personal development at every stage. With support ranging from recovery assistance for behavioral problems and self-harm to life skills training, leadership development, and pastoral counseling, your teen will experience true, lasting transformation.


Our program also incorporates animal therapy, leadership training, and hands-on life skills projects, all designed to equip your teen with the tools they need for a bright and hopeful future. Trust Teen Challenge to guide your child toward a life of purpose, freedom, and faith.

Biblical Based Leadership Training

We believe in long-term change through Christ. Our Five-Level Therapeutic Process focuses on personal growth and discipleship, guiding each student through emotional healing, spiritual growth, and character development. The first levels offer structured oversight, while higher levels award privileges, responsibilities, and freedom as they progress.

Benefits of Our Level System:


  • Builds self-discipline and submission to authority
  • Teaches leadership and time management
  • Fosters a strong work ethic and gratitude

Teen Challenge offers Advanced Leadership Training to redirect and develop each student's natural leadership abilities. Some students arrive having misdirected their talents, while others have made poor choices by following others. Our program helps students recognize their unique leadership traits and learn how to lead with positive influence.


We teach students to take responsibility and embrace the rewards of leadership while guiding them toward servant leadership—leading with integrity and humility.  As students advance through our program, leadership responsibilities grow, preparing them for different leadership challenges.

Academics with a Purpose
