Families
WHO WE ARE
Since 1896, Volunteers of America, a faith-based non-profit social service organization, has been committed to uplifting the lives of the most vulnerable in our community. At the heart of our mission is the delivery of essential services to address the individualized educational needs of young children, treatment for adults with substance use disorders, and housing solutions for homeless veterans, low-income seniors, and the disenfranchised mentally ill. Volunteers of America Southwest continues this mission in Southern California.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I was tired of fighting myself, working with Rev. Ev, I realized I was looking at my recovery from only one angle. Now, I have the right tools and the community I need to stay on track.
It was such a blessing that we could live here. My oldest son is a freshman in college and it’s so easy for him to come home to a safe place.
I love Ballington Academy because our teachers show us never to give up. They are always making us better, and I never feel alone because I am always making a new friend at school.
