School For Life is a mission founded by Jack and Brenda Fultz to serve the needy – changing hopelessness to optimism. The mission is housed in the Old Gary School located in Gary, West Virginia of McDowell County.

Our mission is to challenge the Appalachian people at all social and economic levels to be active, creative, contributing members of their communities and to take to task the development of solutions to poverty, promote self-help, dignity, and self-worth and encourage redemptive relationships and the teachings of a new creation believed key in changing ideas, minds, and hearts.

Additionally, School For Life has a vision to ease poverty conditions of the many, being the HANDS and FEET of Christ and extending HOPE and HELP to those through the love of Jesus and the generosity of the Churches that care about the less fortunate.
