By giving men the right tools and life skills to become family leaders, we can solve many societal problems and make the world a better place. About Glass House Foundation-
The Glass House Foundation offers temporary housing for men ages 18 +. During their stay at the Glass House these young men have mentors. The Glass House is a highly structured, spiritual, learning environment. These young men
engage in classes pertaining to life skills, computer literacy, proper diet, nutrition and exercise, financial budgeting, vocational classes, cooking, entrepreneurship, and most important, learning their role in the family from a spiritual and physical perspective. Glass House Foundation consists of a professional staff including therapists/counselors, and a nurse practitioner for total wellness; mind, body, and soul. Glass House Foundation encourages the men to get involved with gardening by planting and harvesting a great portion of the foods they eat. They fish from a fully stocked pond, gather the harvests of fruit and nut trees and vegetables on the property which teaches them to harvest and prepare their own food. The men can enjoy a fragrant oasis of peace and tranquility with the beautiful arches of jasmine and other beautiful flowers and foliage in the courtyard, where they are free to sit at the benches or tables to read, write, reflect and meditate. The men at Glass House have an opportunity to take a music, art, or woodworking class which is given once a week. It is a proven fact that music and arts reduce stress, increase productivity, develop creativity, build confidence, as well as a host of other benefits, which is why these types of classes are essential. The men of Glass House know the importance of giving back, therefore our success stories come and participate in mentoring the newest men of the organization.
