WHERE
WE ARE
We believe our winning strategy to change the lives of gang members, the homeless and ex-offenders can work in any environment, any city. To date, we have (8) locations open with plans to open (1) more.
GARDENA, CA
In 2011, our first class consisted of five homeless men. In 2013, we rapidly outgrew the available space and moved to a more spacious facility on Skid Row. Due to the ever-growing size of our classes, we moved in 2016 to a larger facility in Gardena. With over 300 graduates per year and 3 mobile training centers and one more on the way, in 2025 we moved to an even larger facility, still in Gardena.
PHILADELPHIA
In 2015, ReIGNITE Philly opened its doors in the slums of Philadelphia. Dan and Denise Anderson, Missionaries out of Servant Partners, run the program. Dan is a graduate of ReIGNITE Hope and also an AWS certified welding instructor and inspector.
PHILIPPINES
In 2018, ReIGNITE Hope Philippines opened on the island of CEBU. The photo shows their very first graduating class. Each student secured gainful employment and all placed their faith in Jesus Christ.
​
BRAZIL
In 2020, ReIGNITE Hope Brazil opened in Campinas, Brazil. ReIGNITE Hope Brazil is operated by Hope Unlimited, a non-profit that provides residential care and vocational training for homeless children on Brazil's city streets.
FULLERTON, CA
In 2021, Classes started in Fullerton in our Mobile Training Center. We've partnered with Grace Community Services (GCS), a faith-based non-profit with a mission to show the love of Jesus Christ to the least, the last, and the lost. GCS exists to serve the needs of Korean-Americans and disadvantaged neighbors throughout Fullerton and Orange County.
DALLAS, TX
In 2023, Classes started in Dallas, Texas. Grace Bridge, a faith-based non-profit with a mission to provide "hope to those in need", provide the classroom and welding lab. Former RHCC Elder Phil Hocking and retired welder Dar Healy provide the spiritual and welding instruction.
SACRAMENTO, CA
In 2023, Classes started in Sacramento, CA. Customizing and outfitting our second Mobile Training Center provided a facility to train those on margins of society in cities in and around the city of Sacramento.
ORANGE COUNTY, CA
In 2025, Classes started in Anaheim with hopes to expand to other cities in Orange County. Customizing and outfitting our fourth Mobile Training Center will provide a dedicated facility to train those on the margins of society in cities in Anaheim, Santa Ana and beyond.
