- To help restore hope.
Program Outline
Cost to Participants Fore Life, Inc. offers quality programming year round. The annual membership for ON (non-offender) members is $75.00. The membership fee entitles members to over 400 hours of professional training a year. The nominal fee does not include spring and summer empowerment camps.
