Wellspring Living

Wellspring Living describes a trauma-informed, holistic teaching approach that connects education with healing, meeting participants where they are academically, emotionally, and socially in a safe, dignified, and encouraging environment. Its programs emphasize personalized instruction, small class settings, mentoring, life-skills development, and integrated academic and career readiness support so students and women can build confidence, resilience, independence, and long-term stability.

Wellspring Living does not appear to publish one centralized institution-wide admissions policy; instead, public intake is described separately by program. (wellspringliving.org) The clearest public application flow is for the Women’s Academy (ages 18+): applicants apply through the public program page/contact route, and Wellspring’s 2024 evaluation says applicants are typically contacted within 3 days, invited to a virtual information session within 8 days if interested, and then scheduled for a clinical intake within 10 days after that if they continue. (wellspringliving.org) Publicly listed requirements are program-based: the Women’s Academy serves women 18+ who have had difficulty gaining living-wage employment due to circumstances such as poverty, sexual abuse, or trafficking; its Adult Education and Career Preparation pathways are open-enrollment, and the Career Preparation pathway does not require a high school diploma or equivalency, while its Career Intensive path is a structured 9-week workforce program tied to a paid apprenticeship. (wellspringliving.org) Other Wellspring Living programs use referral-based intake rather than open public admission: the Women’s Residential Program serves adult women (18+) in Georgia who are survivors of sexual exploitation or at risk and accepts referrals from partners/service providers or self-referral with a partner advocate, while the Receiving Hope Center serves youth ages 12–17 referred through DFCS, DJJ, law enforcement, or another official partner organization. (wellspringliving.org) I did not find any current public statement on waitlists or formal priority categories on Wellspring Living’s website, so those do not appear to be publicly posted admissions criteria.
