Our Programs

Adult Education Program
A community of self-sufficient adults is a community of pride that passes on from generation to generation.  Our goal is to help establish that sense of pride by providing programs that produce victors, not victims. Restore provides monthly seminars in life skills, such as parenting, nutrition, job skills, and computer skills.

Children's Learning Center

Restore Orlando provides an after-school/after care program from the hours of 2:30 - 6:00 p.m. for the youth of the Holden Heights community.  Programs offered in the Learning Center are reading and math tutoring, homework assistance, computer instruction, a mentor program, a dance program, and a teen volunteer leadership program.

Additional programs include sports, arts and crafts, and educational field trips. The Restore Orlando gymnasium provides indoor basketball, volleyball and other activities which help to keep the children safe from the streets. In an effort to aid the schools in increasing reading scores on standardized tests, Restore will be implementing a new reading program  (Reading for Success) during the 07-08 school year.

Community Outreach Program
The primary goal of this program is to instill and restore a deeper and lasting hope that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ to families and individuals of the Holden Heights community. This is being established through evangelism, prayer, education, and economic development.

Home Ownership Program
For many Americans at or below the poverty level, owning a home is an impossible dream, but it is the hope at Restore that the residents of Holden Heights believe that they can dream of becoming homeowners, and that that dream can become a reality. In order for that to happen, they must set realistic goals, get sound advice, plan carefully, and understand the costs involved. As in any new endeavor, the more you know about home ownership, the better able you will be to reach your goal of owning a home.  To that end we will shift from shelters to affordable housing alternatives by providing real estate expertise and financial counseling.

Kids Café
Kids Cafe provides healthy meals five days a week for children who otherwise may go hungry. Studies show that a healthy meal enables children to achieve higher in academics, sports and other activities.  Kids Café is a program affiliated with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and is funded jointly with the Fathers' Table Foundation.

Martial Arts Program
The Restore Martial Arts program is predicated on cultivating a strong mind, body and spirit.  We “do not” focus on the kick and the punch aspect of martial arts.  We have incorporated characteristics such as honoring the Lord, perseverance, gratitude, patience, honor your father and mother, wisdom and perfection of character.  This program has changed the way many children and adults view life.  Faith, hope, hard work and fun are the cornerstones of this program.
 
Children Classes are taught Monday-Thursday 4:30pm-5:45pm
Adult Classes are taught Tuesday and Thursday 7:15pm-8:30pm
