Empowering Change Through Giving

As of 2024, one third of ALL homeless people in Los Angeles are children, including 65,484 students! To add to this terrifying statistic, foster care children turning 18, who are left without a home the day after their 18th birthday, are the single fastest growing population in homeless encampments (up to 29% in the last 3 years)The SAF Project works hand in hand with Stepping Forward Los Angeles to help these kids as they age out of the foster care system, BEFORE they become homeless. These kids are taught the essential tools necessary to become self-sufficient, successful and productive members of our community with a unique Life 101 course and internship. They truly own that information, and then become the teachers for the next set of interns, passing on the gift of the skills and knowledge they have gained. This year, SAF hopes to underwrite at least 15 paid internships (including housing) for only $750 per student for 6 months. With your invaluable donations we can provide these youth with hope, housing, education and a job that helps set them on a course for a productive and safe future. Any contribution you can make to The SAF project will be invaluable in helping us reach our goal this holiday season and is a 501c3 tax deduction. .
