A Home Within

Details

With a mission to create and support lasting, caring relationships for children and youth in foster care, A Home Within identifies, recruits, trains, and supports a network of licensed therapists who each provide free, weekly, one-to-one therapy to a single foster youth “for as long as it takes.”

Description of Services:
With a mission to create and support lasting, caring relationships for children and youth in foster care, A Home Within identifies, recruits, trains, and supports a network of licensed therapists who each provide free, weekly, one-to-one therapy to a single foster youth “for as long as it takes.” For foster youth who often watch people move in and out of their lives, our model creates an anchor of support.

Our vision is that all children who experience foster care are provided this essential support, ensuring that as they transition from foster care, regardless of which stage of life they are in, they have the inner tools they need to thrive. By matching youth with experienced therapists, we address the trauma and disruption inherent to foster care, help youth manage stress and anxiety, and develop the inner tools they need to become healthy adults.

Description of Services:
AOI has an extensive database of organizations, programs, research, online tools, and other resources throughout the country that are focused on helping youth age out of foster care successfully.

Young people age out of foster care when they have reached the maximum age the state will support them in the foster system. In some states, aging out occurs at 18, while in others it is 21. This happens when states have failed to reunite the youth with their families or to place them in permanent adoptive homes.

Description of Services: 

The Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) Animal Safehouse Program is a safety net for community members in crisis. By offering temporary pet boarding to the victims of domestic violence and to military veterans and seniors requiring hospitalization, RCHS keeps families together.

For a victim of domestic violence, finding a safe place for their pet can often mean the difference between staying in an abusive environment or leaving. With temporary shelter and vet care for their pet, these victims become survivors who ultimately reunite with their animals as they pursue a new life of safety and security.

Additional Information: 

For military veterans in need of medical care, our Animal Safehouse Program is also about keeping families intact and respecting the human-animal bond. By having RCHS watch over a pet(s), veterans are able to seek the medical attention they need without having to consider giving up their pets in the process.

Casey Family Programs

Description of Services:

Casey Family Programs is the nation’s largest operating foundation focused on safely reducing the need for foster care in the United States. Our mission is to provide and improve — and ultimately prevent the need for — foster care.

We are committed to Building Communities of Hope, a nationwide effort to prevent the need for foster care by supporting families in raising safe, happy and healthy children. We work with a wide range of partners, including the children and families we serve each day, to:

  • Safely reduce the need for foster care in the United States by 50 percent. We work in support of our partners at the federal, tribal, state and local levels to develop policies and practices that best meet the needs of families and their children. The result of this work reduces child abuse and neglect, increases safety and stability, and improves well-being and life outcomes.
  • Demonstrate how every child can have a safe, supportive and permanent family. We work with children and families to provide and improve foster care and prevention services that promote their safety and well-being. From this work we demonstrate approaches that improve safety, address trauma, support healing, strengthen bonds and promote progress in education, employment and mental health. We share what we learn from this work with our partners to support improvements in policy and practice across the United States.
  • Support more effective public investments in strengthening families to keep children safely in their own homes and communities. We contribute nonpartisan information, data and resources to policymakers at all levels of government to improve the impact and equity of our nation’s investment in communities for supporting child and family safety and well-being.
  •  Promote a shared responsibility for ensuring the well-being of every child and family across the nation. We encourage leaders from all five sectors of a community – government, business, nonprofit and faith-based, philanthropic and the community members themselves – to think, plan and act in collaboration to improve the long-term safety, well-being and hope of children and their families. We call this Building Communities of Hope.

Take charge of your career and become a certified nursing assistant with training from the International Health Group. We provide certified schooling and flexible scheduling for your convenience. We pride ourselves on our high testing scores and high passing rate for the state CNA tests. Our experienced instructors are ready to help you!

A certified nursing assistant, or CNA, offers patients compassion and patience while assisting them with day-to-day life tasks such as dressing, bathing and feeding. Under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you as a CNA will support doctors and nurses in diagnostic procedures and technical treatments. Also known as a Nursing Assistant (NA), you will typically assist in patient charting and instruction, documenting any care that is given and report significant observations to the nursing staff.

We are a state testing center for CNA certification. Ask us about our work scholarship programs!
We have same-day and walk-in appointments available for new students!

Our CNA training is approved by the California Department of Public Health(CDPH). Upon satisfactory completion of the course, each graduate will receive a certificate of eligibility so as to take the State Competency Test through the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP). This exam will test both theory and skills learned during the training. All nurse assistant students must pass this state certification exam to become certified nursing assistants in the State of California.

Description of Services: 

Computers 2 Kids (C2K) is a leading advocate for Digital Equity by recycling and refurbishing computers and providing affordable access for the technologically underserved. Paired with training, connectivity, and support, C2K creates digital inclusion, which strengthens Health, Educational, and Economic Equity. Our vision is that everyone has the resources needed to access technology, the internet, and digital literacy for full participation in our society. 

Studies show that even taking into account socioeconomic status, children with home computers perform at higher academic levels across the board. As our society becomes more dependent on technology, the best gift we can give our children is access to computers. The digital divide – a chasm that separates those with access to technology from those without – reduces the chance of success in life for low-income children and perpetuates poverty.

Description of Services:
Children Now are spearheading Coveredtil26, a statewide outreach campaign to ensure all current and former foster youth living in California know they are eligible for free Medi-Cal coverage until age 26. Previously, former foster youth in California lost coverage when they turned 21. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), young adults who were in foster care at age 18 or older are eligible for free health care until age 26. The ACA ensures that former foster youth can access the health care services they need – just like non-foster youth who can stay on their parent’s insurance plans until age 26.

Additional Information:
Reasons to apply: No income restrictions, simplified renewal process, flexibility, and comprehensive coverage.

Since 2001, Doors of Change™ has been transforming the lives of homeless youth, one young person at a time. For more than 20 years we have helped place over 2,200 homeless youth in safe housing and off the streets. In 2013 the agency identified a significant gap in the services and resources available to “transitional–age-youth” (those between the ages of 16 and 25) and decided to re-brand as Doors of Change™ and deliver a unique service to address this critical need.

Recognizing that trust is often a significant barrier for youth in need of services, Doors of Change™ selected music and art as a non-threatening way to engage young people living on the streets.

Who We Serve:
Doors of Change work with youth ages 17-25 years old.

Duwara Consciousness Foundation Shower Trailer

Details

Our un-sheltered neighbors tell us the facts – the showers they might otherwise have access to do not provide the needed cleanliness, privacy, hot water, security, or availability that they need – and they often have no access to affordable laundry ($10-$15 per load at the laundromat).

Description of Services:

Our un-sheltered neighbors tell us the facts – the showers they might otherwise have access to do not provide the needed cleanliness, privacy, hot water, security, or availability that they need – and they often have no access to affordable laundry ($10-$15 per load at the laundromat).

Good hygiene is as unattainable as it is critical for our homeless neighbors in San Diego. Lack of hygiene can be a profound detriment to one’s dignity and only exacerbates the other problems associated with homelessness and job insecurity.

DCF is dedicated to addressing this key aspect of hygiene. Offering 7 shower stalls (1 wheelchair/family unit) and 2, 20-lb washers and dryers, DCF’s Shower Trailer Program offers these services on a scale unparalleled in San Diego. As many of our homeless neighbors are transient, the mobility of our showers enables us to serve them wherever they reside.

Shower Trailer Schedule:

10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Monday through Fridays (excluding National/Bank Holidays)

Foster Love is a non-profit that makes the foster care experience better for the 430,000 children going through it.

There are over 430,000 children in foster care and only 214,421 licensed foster parents. This means foster parents and agencies are often left with limited resources. Together We Rise began as a sports camp offering after-school enrichment to foster youth who otherwise could not afford the activity. As the charity grew, we’ve tackled larger problems including access to higher education, emergency resources, and more.

Since 2015, Foster Love has partnered with private donors, college foster care support organizations, nonprofit partners, and government agencies to deliver over $8 million dollars in academic assistance directly to college students who have experienced the foster care system.

Description of Services:

PAWsitive Recovery offers temporary housing and pet supplies for pets while their owners undergo treatment or transition into sober living. This initiative addresses the significant challenge individuals face in seeking recovery without having someone to care for their animals. Additionally, PAWsitive Recovery extends support to women leaving abusive situations, recognizing the critical role pets play in their decision-making process and the risks they face in such environments. By keeping animals with their owners during and after treatment, PAWsitive Recovery alleviates the burden on shelters and facilitates smoother transitions into recovery.

In many cases, individuals hesitate to seek long-term treatment or sober living due to concerns about their pets’ welfare. PAWsitive Recovery acknowledges the bond between pets and their owners and aims to prevent the distressing prospect of losing a beloved pet during the recovery journey. By offering assistance to both individuals struggling with substance abuse and women escaping domestic violence, PAWsitive Recovery ensures that pets receive care and support, reducing barriers to treatment and promoting the reunification of owners and their pets in aftercare.

FSA is responsible for managing the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. These programs provide grant, work-study, and loan funds to students attending college or career school.

We ensure students and their families can benefit from these programs by

  • informing students and families about the availability of the federal student aid programs and the process for applying for and receiving aid from those programs;

  • developing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form and processing more than 17.5 million FAFSA forms each year;

  • accurately disbursing, reconciling, and accounting for all federal student aid funds that are delivered to students each year through approximately 5,400 colleges and career schools;

  • managing the outstanding federal student loan portfolio and securing repayment from federal student loan borrowers;

  • offering free assistance to students, parents, and borrowers throughout the entire financial aid process; and

  • providing oversight and monitoring of all program participants—schools, financial entities, and students—to ensure compliance with the laws, regulations, and policies governing the federal student aid programs.
