The Glen at St. Joseph is a residential program for single mothers and their young children. The Glen provides a safe place for mothers, with the help of their life coaches, to plan the future they want for themselves and their families. They also have the time to educate and prepare themselves for a career they choose that will be the foundation for the life they want. While the mothers work on a certificate or college degree, their children attend a private, 5-star quality early learning center located across the parking lot.

The Glen is designed to serve both single mothers and their children by engaging and empowering them while they live here. A single mom who is at least 18 years old can have one or two children, aged five or under, at the time she applies to the Glen. Other aspects of those the Glen serves are below:

• Have custody of one or two children, aged five and under
