Appalachian Teen Challenge does not discriminate when admitting new applicants.

 

Jay Shannon, Director of Admissions

     "It is an honor and privilege to serve as the Director of Admissions here at Appalachian Teen Challenge. I am a graduate of this program and feel that my personal experience will be a tool in communicating and relating to people. My desire is to help the hurting and broken find the place of restoration and rejuvenation through the love of Jesus. "

Applicants are only accepted who, during a rigorous interview with our Director of Admissions, have demonstrated a sincere desire for a complete change of lifestyle. Persons who fail to demonstrate that desire are refused admission into the program. We recognize that some applicants will benefit from professional medical treatment; therefore, in these cases referrals are made to the appropriate professionals.

As a trans denominational ministry, Appalachian Teen Challenge, Inc. does not discriminate when admitting new applicants, regardless of their race, religion, political persuasion, nationality, or otherwise.

 

The Application Process

  • Interested persons should contact our office at (304) 384-3307 or 384-9074.
  • Once contacted, the Director of Admissions conducts an extensive interview to determine if the individual is a candidate for the program.
  • If accepted, the applicant is instructed to receive a medical physical and provide a completed application, admission fee, and return bus fare.
  • The applicant is then given an admission date. On this date, he is required to sign and complete various liability release forms.
