Since many of the residents work jobs wake up time for some will be different all available residents will be present for mediation, breakfast at 9:00 am . Residents who are not employed or are working on summer school will use this time to study or look for employment.

Summer schedule may and will be changed by staff depending on the schedule the residents have. Longer retreats and activities are likely. Residents will not be permitted to work jobs that interfere with groups, AA attendance, or ones to ones. Residents working schedule will need to be approved by staff prior to accepting employment. Both Summer and School Interims are subject to change by staff as they see needed.
