We provide free educational training to individuals with lived experience, including justice involvement, substance use, homelessness, and poverty, to become certified Peer Mentors and health workers. Over 12-weeks, participants engage in remote and hands-on learning, including field placements, support groups, and mentorship, transforming lived experience into a career path. With your support, we’ll expand this high-demand education-to-workforce pipeline to reduce recidivism, improve community health, & disrupt cycles of poverty across LA.
