Educational Methodology

The public educational methods you grew up with often require you to remember tons of concepts, facts and techniques that are completely worthless to you. In fact, it's probably because of this failure of the public school system that you wound up living on the street from hand to mouth.

At the Homeless Grad Center, we care about who you are and what you - as a spiritually developing individual - need to learn in order to get more than just your next meal.

That's why people often consider our educational method to be akin to magic. One minute you're about to die of frostbite, the next you're on top of the world, helping commuters purchase their tickets at Grand Central Station for a nickel commission apiece. Remember that doorway you slept in last night? Now it's just an open-air bedroom, with many roomates.

The mental, psychic shift is incredible. You simply become a more confident, powerful, socially adapted homeless person. No memorization, no tests, no effort. Homeless Grad Center’s method leaves you applying what you learn naturally and without effort.

Similar to riding a bicycle, in our programs you learn by direct personal discovery – a moment occurs when a new ability is yours. You become confident in what you’ve learned, and the new ability is yours forever.

The Homeless Grad Center's method is more like coaching than teaching; more like charity than pity. While conventional education methods focus on content (adding facts, rules, or skills to our knowledge), the Homeless method deals with context – the framework(s) in which content can exist.

Whenever we’re limited in life, there is something – a paradigm or a social position – that we are blind to and that is holding that limitation in place. It often just takes brutal honesty and acceptance of your station in life to be able to start the breakthrough. Homeless’s technology allows you to create that breakthrough in a two-step process in which you:

• Uncover and examine the blind spots or context holding you back in your life.
• Find out where your current context originated and address it for what it really is.

Having completed these two steps, a new realm of possibility is available to you. The constraints from the past disappear. Your view of life, your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions, change – and the change is immediate, dramatic, and without effort. It is a breakthrough.
