What We Do
Working with local Galveston County business people, we offer 6-week sessions periodically every year by Mosaic —one in the fall, winter and one in the spring. Classes meet four and a half days per week. A range of topics are included meeting the needs and goals of the students in each 6 week session: life skill training, personal financial management, nutrition, computer and technology skills, job readiness, starting a business, Bible study.Students are interviewed and assessed initially and this data is used to determine the amount of time to be spent in academic instruction and in the other topics. Childcare can be obtained through a grant at Workforce Solutions if qualified. All services for this program are free to students. Participation in extra-curricular activities is required.
All applicants are interviewed by the Mosaic staff.Results do not determine eligibility if previously disclosed. All participants are required to be drug free for 90 days prior for eligibility.
We are not a counseling service. Counseling must be attained elsewhere.
Student applications can be submittedonline or by calling 409 789-8534.

Mentoring
When available, each student is assigned a mentor when available with whom they establish a positive, empowering relationship. Students will meet alone with their mentor for a minimum of 30 minutes a week in person or by phone. During this time they discuss the courses, where to look for a job, or stumbling blocks that are keeping them from reaching their goals. The mentor’s goal is to guide the student on their journey to become more employable and self-sufficient.
VOLUNTEERING
To Give Hope
If you want to help bring hope to the lives of the unemployed and their families through Mosaic, please consider becoming a volunteer or making a tax-deductible donation.
Funding
Mosaic is coordinated and staffed by volunteers. However, Mosaic needs funding to meet our objectives and continue our program. Mosaic is completely responsible for securing its own financial support to pay for all its needs. Our needs include funding for meals, for supplies, equipment, utilities, maintenance, website maintenance, and for snacks.
