Victory
Square
This hospitality laboratory gives hands-on hotel and
convention operation skills to the students. Victory Square consists of
four areas, which students operate, with instruction from staff.
The areas of operation include:
Victory Lodge, a dormitory-style affordable hotel with a
continental breakfast.
Victory Transitions, a housing facility where men receive a bed and
breakfast, attend classes, and receive counsel on employment and life
choices.
Victory Life, a center where clients can drop-in for fellowship,
use of computer and phone, classes, counsel, and other needs to help them
in moving forward. This is the Educational center for the Lodge and
transitions areas.
Victory Trade School is where students in VTS hospitality and PREP
reside. The PREP school students receive spiritual life classes, job
preparation, remedial skills, and GED if necessary. VTS hospitality
students attend classes and cross train in restaurant and hotel
instruction as they work various positions in Victory Square. This
building is managed consistent with hotel standards and is
student-operated in the same manner as Cook's Kettle.
Victory Prep: This life-changing program is designed for men with a
strong desire to change their lifes for the better. This is achieved
through intensive Bible studies, interpersonal and life skills classes,
job therapy and preparation for work or further education. The program is
also for those who otherwise would not qualify under the stated candidacy
requirements to enter the hospitality courses. In order to graduate or
move into the hospitality courses, those without a high school diploma
must receive a GED while in the PREP school.
