WHAT TO EXPECT:
Personal and spiritual growth
You will grow personally and spiritually through CORE. Personal coaching and group sessions are designed to help develop leadership skills and discover and clarify your calling. Specific classes, team devotions, and group study will go in-depth into understanding the Bible, its application to our daily lives, and our future careers.
Life changing experiences and adventure
Hike the Appalachian Trail, canoe the Delaware River, serve those in need, love on preschoolers, serve and interact with multicultural groups, catch a show on Broadway, explore the Adirondack Mountains, explore New York City, and so much more!
Professional Coaching and growth
You’ll grow professionally through intentional coaching and working with our amazing staff and being with each other. We will also be using The Birkman Method as a framework for self-awareness and personal growth and development.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
Authentic community and lifelong friendships
Spending a majority of your time with wonderful people will create friendships sure to last a lifetime. You’ll be eating, sleeping, and breathing with the CORE community. But don’t worry, if you need a little break from time to time, there’s a Starbucks right down the street!
LEARNING IN THE CORE COMMUNITY:
As a part of the community you’ll learn a thing or two about living on your own in an apartment. How to cook. What to cook. How to turn off a smoke alarm. How to air out smoke from said apartment.
You’ll also learn about budgeting and money management. With 65% of college students (aka your peers) walking around with a significant balance on their credit card statement, we’ll work hard to teach you smart money habits.
Emotional maturity is also major component of this program. According to Daniel Goleman in his book “Working With Emotional Intelligence”, only 33% of what you need to know for a job is technical skill. Emotional intelligence makes up 66% of what someone needs to be successful in their job. CORE will intentionally work with every participant to help them understand and embrace the four components of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and social management.
