WHERE
WE ARE
We believe our winning strategy to change the lives of gang members, the homeless and ex-offenders can work in any environment, any city. To date, we have (7) locations open with plans to open (2) more.
SACRAMENTO, CA
We are excited to announce our seventh location is now open. Using our second semi-trailer as a Mobile Welding Training Center, 20 students can be taught at one time. The staff has a wealth of welding education experience and an impressive list of welding credentials.
GARDENA, CA
In 2011, our very first class consisted of five homeless men. In 2013, we rapidly outgrew the available space and moved to a more spacious facility on Skid Row. Due to to the ever-growing size of our classes, we moved in 2016 to our current facility in Gardena where we now serve a much larger student population.
PHILADELPHIA, PA
In 2015, ReIGNITE Philly opened its doors in the slums of Philadelphia. Dan and Denise Anderson, Missionaries out of Servant Partners, run the program. Dan is a graduate of ReIGNITE Hope and also an AWS certified welding instructor and inspector.
PHILIPPINES
In 2018, ReIGNITE Hope Philippines opened on the island of CEBU. The photo shows their very first graduating class. Each student secured gainful employment and all placed their faith in Jesus Christ.
BRAZIL
In 2020, ReIGNITE Hope Brazil opened in Campinas, Brazil. ReIGNITE Hope Brazil is operated by Hope Unlimited, a non-profit that provides residential care and vocational training for homeless children on Brazil's city streets.
ORANGE COUNTY
In 2021, Classes started in Orange County in our Mobile Training Center. We've partnered with Grace Community Services (GCS), a faith-based non-profit with a mission to show the love of Jesus Christ to the least, the last, and the lost. GCS exists to serve the needs of Korean-Americans and disadvantaged neighbors throughout Fullerton and Orange County.
DALLAS, TX
ReIGNITE Hope Dallas began its first 10-week class in 2023. Hallelujah. It's been a dream of ours for some time to offer classes in Dallas. Former RHCC elder Phil Hocking and retired welder Dar Healy made it a reality in conjunction with Grace Bridge Church.
