About Us

Our Centers

Louisiana Teen Challenge consists of many different locations. Depending upon your needs and location, one center may be a better option than another. Our first phase centers are called Induction Centers while our second phase locations are Training Centers. Below we will introduce you to those locations as well as provide contact information for each one.

Louisiana Teen Challenge induction centers are the first phase locations for our program. Students entering the program will be admitted into one of our induction centers where they will live while they complete their first phase of the program. Upon completion of the first phase (usually 4 months), students will move to the Mount Grace Training Center for Men, our second phase location. For female students, Induction and Training occur at one location, Mt. Grace Center for Women in Winnfield, LA.
