R³ Program
What is the R³ Program?
The three pillars of R³ Academy are staff Navigators who provide direct support to Guests, Life Skills that provide vocational training and skills, and classes and activities led by staff and committed volunteers from within the community. Because people move at different speeds, the timeline is different from person to person. As long as you are participating in the program and working toward goals, we will continually support you. Here’s a general timeline of how a majority of Guests progress:
First 30 Days
Direct staff support from a staff Navigator
Life Skill shift
Class Schedule
We encourage you to settle into your new schedule. Meet some new people and learn some new things. Your focus is to be on time to your Life Skill and your classes and to check in with your Navigator.
First 31-90 Days
Work on your goals
Continue with life skill, classes, and Navigator check-ins
Explore new hobbies and community opportunities
After you are settled into your schedule, we encourage you to focus on your personal goals. Take a look at your health and general well-being. Stay involved in the program.
Days 91 and Beyond
Start achieving goals
Explore employment if desired
Continue participating in the R³ Program
After you make progress on your personal goals, we encourage you to explore the “What’s Next?” question. For some, that might include looking for a job, new career, educational opportunities, or community involvement.
Start your journey at the Eugene Mission through our Rescue Center
After your stay in rescue, if you apply to enroll in the R³ Academy, you agree to actively work to meet your established goals and action plan. You must agree to sign a release of information that pertains to various agencies in the Lane County area that will allow us to communicate and access community resources such as housing on your behalf. In return for your participation, you will earn credits toward your graduation requirements.
