Thrilled to watch our Executive Director Jill Dominguez honored with the Woman of the Year award by Orange County Assemblymember @DianeDixonAD72 We're hopeful this award increases recognition that CA must do more to combat child sex trafficking and support survivors in healing.

It's Social Work Month and we know social work is more than a job — it’s a way of life! We couldn't help our teen moms and babies without the extreme dedication of the social workers who support us. Thank you! #SocialWorkMonth #CompassionPlusAction #fostercare #teenmoms
