PROGRAMMING
PROGRAMMING ROOM
TLC's Programming Room was designed, painted, and furnished by Chanelle Johnson from My Vision 9 Foundation.
Take What You Need & Leave What You Can
When re-entrants take a positive encouraging note, they replace it with one of their own. Each note is created by our re-entrants. Unique personality, perspectives, and opinions shine through. TLC's programming has a goal to create a positive, vibrant, and safe environment for our re-entrants.
TLC re-entrants participate in Programming Monday thru Thursday 9am-12pm. Programming consist of in-house groups and activities, community service/volunteer hours, as well as outside agencies who come into the facility to facilitate educational groups such as Women's Health, Physical Fitness, and Employment.
