Door-A Center of Alternatives

This is one of those places which are beyond grading. The services they provide to the young people is incomparable. They are the reason many of us get a second life. :)

When I was 17 this program helped me so much! I learned a great skill that turned into a career, gave me free medical care, great food, and also valuable free legal guidance. I don't know what I would have done without this program living on my own at such a young age. I wish every city had something this amazing! This place and all the contributors / have a very special place in my heart. I went from feeling all alone and hopeless to motivated and cared about. Love you guys, please don't ever stop this program :-)

Sadly, if you go here to try and get your GED.. Don't ! I was a student here just trying to better myself and further my education, but yet was punished for it. I passed all my classes came in did what I had to do and leave. While I was there I was mocked by the supervisor she was disrespectful and gave me a hard time when I needed help and at times it was like I was not even allowed to have a bad day or I was threatened to be kicked out of the program. I got along well with my teacher the students and a counselor who wasn't even mine cause the counselor I had was rude as hell anyways it was a horrible experience but I stuck through it. I had to leave because I moved and found out I was pregnant. When I tried to reach out a few months later I didn't get so much as a text back from the supervisor she didn't acknowledge my effort to try and do the right things only when I did something she did not like. This place is supposed to have people who want to help not turn their backs when you need help but it's okay I'm enrolled now into a ged class and almost ready to take my test . I will never come here for anything ever again

I use to go to The Door when I was 12 years old and older with my brother and our friends.When I was their I always had a blast of a time.The counselors at that time were excellent.They really cared about people.The Door had great activities like pottery & art shows medical and programs like manpower and other programs for women too.When I was Their I became the store girl I sold snacks on the main level.I enjoyed playing basketball their on basement level,medical was excellent and private loved it!And mind you this was in the early 90's! Lol,smh the good ol days!At that time they also help people get there G.E.D diploma but......I have my High school diploma. I'm just grateful to have experienced the door in my life and wouldn't mind my children going in the near future God bless all!

Great place, I only went for sexual health but everyone was so understanding. Everything is free and they don't notify parents either. There are also other programs
