Boaz & Ruth provides training in life skills, job skills, leadership models, and one-on-one job coaching to unemployed individuals who need a second chance. Our goal is that persons completing our program will no longer look to society to support themselves but will look to themselves to support society.

Restoration of furniture provides a metaphor of what happens in the training program at Boaz & Ruth. Individuals come to us feeling like “throw away people.” Through work, classes, counseling and loving relationships, our trainees come to discover the beauty within. Likewise the loving hands of a skilled craftsman bring out beauty in discarded furniture. Hence the name Parable Restoration: Restoring Furniture/Restoring Lives.
