Journey House serves former foster and probation youth throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Our staff, community partners, volunteers, and affiliated organizations, are dedicated to a sole purpose of improving the quality of life of former foster youth by surrounding them with a comprehensive network of resources through compassionate assistance, care and guidance. Since 1983, Journey House has been a place where emancipated foster youth are given the opportunity to receive supportive services as they transition from life in foster care to adult independence. Journey House offers resources for former foster youth in the areas of education, employment, housing, and independent living skills. Access to these resources positively impact the growth and development of former foster youth academically, professionally, and personally. Since it's inception, Journey House has served over 400 former foster youth through its AfterCare Program, specially designed to ease the transition which emancipated youth experience after exiting the foster care system.
Manifesto Violence against women is the most pervasive yet least recognized human rights abuse in the world. For over three decades, women's advocacy groups around the world have been working to draw attention to the physical, psychological, and sexual abuse of women and to stress the need for action. We have provided abused women with support and protection, lobbied for legal reforms, and challenged the pervasive culture of violence. Peace Over Violence has a grassroots origin revolving around volunteer contributions. We are present in the streets, schools, hospitals and courts ; acting up, advocating against and healing violence. Our call for action over the last 35 years for a world free of violence has garnered widespread respect, support and dedicated allies among police, prosecutors, politicians, healthcare providers, individual supporters, celebrities and a growing list of sponsors from corporations and foundations. We understand violence in relationships, families and communities is a root cause for violence in society. To address the problem at its core is to change how this problem manifests and magnifies itself in society at large. Changing an individual point of view toward sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence will ' one on one, one by one ' cause social change, a transformation of society, a world without violence. Our vision is a world without violence. Where no child is abused, no wife battered, no friend raped. A world without terror, without threats, without wounds from intentional actions. Where the strong provide for the vulnerable, where the vulnerable become empowered, where every kind of family is safe and secure, and girls and boys and women and men have a fair and equal chance at the pursuit of happiness in a tolerant and talented society.
We are a non-profit auditioned choir servicing greater Los Angeles.
