Sponsored by Catholic Charities, Christopher Place serves men in transition form prison, substance abuse, and homelessness.  Each class, of between ten and twenty students, arrives dressed in a crisp shirt, tie and trousers for a Power/Excel program meeting twice weekly for 2 hours/session for seven weeks.  Each class attends a series of instructional sessions to prepare them for the world of work and a new chapter in life.  Power/Excel begins with the 6-hour Success Seminar to create bonding and develop a mindset for positive change. The next session begins the course entitled Powerful Communication and Conflict Management.  Following is How to Make Money and Make Money Work for You.  Participants receive a Certificate of Completion and students demonstrating outstanding performance are eligible for a letter of recommendation.
