Mission

The Jacobs Institute believes that providing individuals with "hand outs" only perpetuates the cycle of dependency and poverty.  The only true way to help the needy is to teach them to be self-sufficient.

We are a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) ,Christian based adult education center and homeless shelter located in Gladewater, Texas. We help the unemployed and underemployed gain the skills needed to secure a well paying job that will allow them to support themselves and their families.

We enjoy a high success rate and attribute this achievement to the Lord's blessings.

We offer free and reduced cost training to anyone who seeks our help.
