WHERE
WE ARE
We believe our winning strategy to change the lives of gang members, the homeless and ex-offenders can work in any environment, any city. To date, we have (7) locations open with plans to open (2) more.
GARDENA, CA
In 2011, our first class consisted of five homeless men. In 2013, we rapidly outgrew the available space and moved to a more spacious facility on Skid Row. Due to to the ever-growing size of our classes, we moved in 2016 to our current facility in Gardena where we now serve a much larger student population.
PHILADELPHIA
In 2015, ReIGNITE Philly opened its doors in the slums of Philadelphia. Dan and Denise Anderson, Missionaries out of Servant Partners, run the program. Dan is a graduate of ReIGNITE Hope and also an AWS certified welding instructor and inspector.
PHILIPPINES
In 2018, ReIGNITE Hope Philippines opened on the island of CEBU. The photo shows their very first graduating class. Each student secured gainful employment and all placed their faith in Jesus Christ.
