Dry Bones Live Vocational Center
D.B.L. Vocational Center has formed to introduce disadvantaged young adults, ages 18–35 to a no-cost air conditioning/heating training program. This training can serve as a springboard to the rewards and self-empowerment found in skilled trades. It is D.B.L.’s mission to provide tangible skills that are demanded in today’s workforce.
To those students that are willing, they will come to understand the rewards and respect that a selective trade can bring to their lives. Our main requirements will be willingness, hard work, and honest effort.
We offer an 8-week course on AC/Refrigeration training course. Classes take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

But in hundreds of communities across the Western United States, The Salvation Army also operates programs and services which are designed to meet human need in Christ's name, alleviate human suffering, and promote wholeness by addressing the spiritual, social,emotional, psychological and physical well-being of those served.
