What is the resource center?

---

In 2021, our House Parent's contract ended and we were tasked with searching for the next House Parents for The Reset Home. After months and months of fervently searching, praying, and asking God to send us the right people for the job, God (being the funny guy he is) sent us a different vision for what we would do with the Reset House. 

In 2022, our team launched the
Reset Resource Center!

The Resource Center will serve as a safe space for our Community Teens in Williamson County to come and learn new life skills, participate in Teen Nights, access basic needs such as canned goods, food or toiletries, and it will give them daily access to trusted adults who can assist them in a time of need. It will also serve as a safe hang out space for our mentors and their mentees to come play a round of pool, watch a movie together, do some laundry, or even cook a meal in our fully stocked kitchen facility.

We will be working with the teens who have been put on probation and young adults aging out of Foster Care to help them learn essential life-skills that will best equip and help them in taking their next best step into adulthood.

What Life Skill Classes will the Resource Center Offer?

There will be a multitude of different life skill classes that teens can register for throughout the year. Some of the classes we will be offering include:

​Red Cross
first aid & CPR certification

In this class, teens will receive their First Aid and CPR certification after attending a 6 Hour Instruction Course taught by our Red Cross Certified volunteer and instructor.

​​​meal planning, budgeting
​and cooking

This course will be a six week long informational class led by two of our amazing volunteers to teach teens basic meal planning, budgeting, shopping and cooking techniques. Teens will also obtain their food handler's certification during the duration of the course. 

​simple home repair instruction

Teens will attend a one-day course learning basic home repair skills that they would need when they move into their own place. Our trainer will show them how to change a doorknob, do a basic drywall patch, basic wiring & tool identification, basic plumbing, and so much more! 

​Simple car repair & maintenance

Teens will learn what they need to do to maintain & take care of their first vehicle. Our instructor shows them how to change a tire, change their oil, check their fluids, change their wiper blades, and so much more!

Teens who are interested in getting their license or starting Driver's Education, Reset will assist with registering them for classes and assist in paying for classes.
