ASK Learning Centre The ASK Learning Centre is a full-time education and living skills program provided to our participants who stay in our residential program and is also open to other women in the community who may not necessarily need a safe house but who may benefit from the day program. These seats are restricted to females, but have no age limit. The program provides each participant with an opportunity to learn the personal and occupational skills required to help them obtain and maintain employment, return to school, and/or raise their children on a full-time basis. Our programs are designed so that each participant can remain as long as it takes to successfully reach their goals. The learning centre provides a safe learning environment, especially for those participants who are not comfortable and/or welcome in a mainstream learning environment. All
programs include but are not limited to the elimination of the spiritual,
physical, emotional, psychological, verbal, and sexual abuse of female
youth at risk. New programs are added as need and funding are realized.
