“Christian women's job corps of middle tennessee (dba begin anew of middle tennessee) was established in 1997 as an adult education ministry of the nashville baptist association. In february 2003, christian women's job corps incorporated as a 501(c)3 organization, and we added services to men in 2008. The name changed to begin anew in 2016 in order to represent the organization's scope and purpose. Begin anew empowers individuals to overcome the obstacles caused by poverty by providing education, mentoring, and resources. We believe everyone deserves a chance to begin anew and walk a journey to a brighter future. Begin anew provides three education tracks to adult students: hse (high school equivalency), ell (english language learning), and computer and job skills training. The hse track offers tutoring and/or classes in five subjects: language arts - reading, language arts - writing, mathematics, science, and social studies in preparation for a student taking the national hiset (high school equivalency test) exam administered by psi services llc. The ell track accommodates three levels of instruction: level 1 (beginner), level 2 (intermediate), and level 3 (advanced). Level 1 focuses on foundational vocabulary and basic grammar with reading, speaking, writing, and listening in mind. Level 2 builds on vocabulary and grammar with additional verb tenses, introduces adverbs, and teaches longer sentence structures in order to advance a student's life skills. Level 3 prepares a student for workplace vocabulary by learning phrases, sayings, and concepts such as how to exercise critical thinking skills and spends more time in comprehensive reading and writing. Computer and job skills training instructs students in the basics of internet browsing, keyboard typing, and commonly used office suite applications. Students also receive life skills instruction on topics such as job applications, interviewing, and resume writing. Life skills instruction teaches you how to write a resume, interview for a job, and set personal life goals. Begin anew primarily serves students over the age of 18 (with the exception of a few minors with parental and school board permission) with five programs at four locations across middle tennessee: madison, combined men and women (madison church of christ 106 gallatin pike north, madison, tn 37115), nashville, women only, (nashville first baptist church 108 7th avenue south, nashville, tn 37203), franklin combined men and women (walker baptist church 1350 west main st., franklin, tn 37064), and woodbine, combined men and women, (the church at woodbine 29 whitsett rd., nashville, tn 37210). In 2023, we added an online campus that serves davidson, williamson and surrounding counties. A program manager oversees the volunteers and students at each program by providing oversight, training, and direction. Each location holds classes for two hours on monday and thursday evenings from 6-8pm, except franklin which meets on tuesday and thursday evenings from 6-8pm as well as makes a daytime class available on thursday from 9am-noon. The online campus offers a flexible schedule. All students, whether in- person classes or online are paired with volunteers who serve as teachers, tutors, and mentors. Our program is built on a relational model, which is intense in personal time and depth of individual approach. In addition to our adult education tracks, we offer free children's programming while students attend classes, provide students with a volunteer mentor/encourager, make referrals to meet student needs, and continually seek to create a safe community that cares for one another. Highlights from 2023: throughout 2023, begin anew tracks student and volunteer engagement in our customer relationship management (crm) database salesforce. Executive staff continues to work closely with goal collective to achieve a long-term goal of being able to share aggregate or de-identified data and refer students to one another. Throughout”
