- Covenant House California.
"Every day Covenant House California helps today's lost and troubled youth
embrace a brighter tomorrow. Our youth come to us off the streets with
little or no hope, and we welcome them with open arms, providing expert
care and unconditional love. All of our programs and services build upon
the interests, skills, and gifts that are unique to each youth. We also
target critical issues and problems and offer solutions.
Our ability to reach the many lives we touch is made possible from
individuals who are strongly committed to saving an otherwise overlooked,
disadvantaged youth population. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to
all of you for providing our youth wonderful opportunities to make their
lives better. I know, that with everyone's continued support, many more
thousands of youth will leave the streets, turn their lives around, and
become valuable contributors to their communities."
