Jovenes is the Key to Youth Success
Jovenes helps youth, ages 18-25, end their cycle of
homelessness. We are located in Boyle Heights and serve
communities throughout Southeast LA County.
Jovenes, Inc. 2020 Annual Report
2020 marked a difficult and challenging year for our community, and served as a reminder at Jovenes of how truly important our mission is. We have seen firsthand how the most vulnerable have suffered the most consequences of the economic downturn, primarily stemming from lack of access to the community resources that are so important for their well-being.
Despite all the challenges brought by 2020, Jovenes has continued to grow its capacity by starting new programs. Continuing to bring new housing opportunities to transitional age youth remains a vital task, now more than ever. We have expanded our College Success Initiative to new campuses while developing dorm-style living arrangements, opened a new crisis housing program for young women at Los Padrinos, and have seen the generosity of our community through the Hosts who have opened their home to youth through the Host Home program.
We invite you to read more about our work in detail in our 2020 Annual Report.
“Jovenes gave me a ton of opportunities to grow. Staff took their time with me and make me feel a part of the family.”
