Education is a key factor in breaking the cycle of addiction. Opportunities to grow and learn often open the door to meaningful employment, which is important in maintaining long-term sobriety.
Not only that, but continued education can help the graduates of our addiction recovery Life Change Program to discover and explore their God-given skills and passions, and find new ways to pursue a purpose-driven life.
Dave McKee, one of MSM’s former board members and longtime Board Chair, was an enthusiastic encourager of the ministry, and he loved getting to know our recovery program residents and seeing them grow in the Lord. Back in the day, you would see him driving the MSM van with residents off to pick up donations for the thrift store!
In his honor, we have created the Dave McKee Scholarship Fund. Donations made to this fund will be used to pay for educational needs for our Life Change Program graduates and alumni.
The fund is designed to help our graduates fulfill their life mission of recovery in order to live stable, productive lives in our community. In recent years, several of our men have graduated with degrees in clinical mental health counseling, Biblical studies, alcohol and drug counseling, electrical contracting, medical translation, and Certified Peer Recovery Specialist.
