Family Resiliency

Project Joy offers ongoing workshops with the goal to strengthen and equip the family unit.

Effective Black Parenting

We are certified facilitators for the DCFS court-approved 12-week program, which is centered on cultural norms, and parenting styles and introduces new parenting tools and strategies for a healthy parent/child relationship. The program is rooted in cultural pride, and black history and promotes self-love.

Employment Support

We host job fairs in partnership with local agencies, schools and local hiring employers. Project Joy also provides job readiness groups and free vocational certification training in partnership with LA County Delete the Divide and nonprofit partner LA Tech.

We have a growing network of local employers and vocational training partners who share our commitment to introducing youth to new and emerging career fields.

Industry certifications are available at no cost, as well as, paid internships and job placement assistance.

We have a variety of employers hiring locally from many different industries.

Partners include:

Financial Wellness

Our financial support groups meet virtually or in person and reinforce skills such as SMART goals, budgeting, saving strategies, and homeownership. We work with Eagle Eye Realty, our real estate partner, to help with foreclosure prevention, housing advocacy, and homeownership planning.

Black Maternal Health

We provide trained facilitators for prenatal education groups (March of Dimes – Becoming a Mom) to help birthers prepare for a healthy delivery.

We are the lead agency for the Black Maternal Alternative Care Alliance; a network of direct support, education and sisterhood to ensure a healthy and positive birthing experience and joyous first year of life (sponsored by UniHealth Foundation and LA Care GAAINS initiative).
