Transform

Often the choices we make in life literally determine the quality of the lives we live. So, if you don't like your life then change your choices! Give our team six months of your life to invest in you and instruct you so that in the future you can make the informed choices in your life that will transform your world. If your willing to do whatever it takes then the transform programme may be your opportunity to leave the past behind and let God open up a new chapter in your life that will give you freedom to write your future.

The Transform Programme aims to:

Provide the skills and support necessary for participants to transform their lives by training and development in Christian values, attitude and character accompanied by:

  • life skills training
  • workplace skills development
  • personal mentoring, encouragement and support
  • workplace experience

As a result of the programme we believe that participants will be able to live fuller, freer lives contributing positively in the home, workplace and community. Support for participants will be ongoing at Green Pastures after the Transform Programme comes to an end through mentoring support and through further opportunity to contribute and be a witness and example to others within the communities we serve, who find themselves in similar circumstances prior to the Transform Programme.

Programme Staff

A dedicated team will support participants as they make their own personal transformation journey. The programme will be tailored to meet the needs of each participant so as to maximise the opportunity for growth, development and transformation.

Trainers

The programme will introduce range of professional trainers with ability to deliver both accredited and non accredited training so as to enable participants to have the best possible opportunity to transform.

Pastoral Support

Throughout the programme pastoral support will be available to participants so they can be empowered to address issues that may arise during the programme and thereby develop lives that are in right standing with God and man.

Mentoring

A specially selected team of mentors will be introduced to the programme so that each person has the opportunity to liaise on a regular basis with a mentor who will assist them to implement the learning and skills gained

Work Place Interviews

Ultimately we believe everyone needs to contribute to a work environment. Therefore a key commitment of the programme is that all participants will have at least one actual 'real life' workplace interview as a result of programme participation.
