Our Supporters

“As colleagues in this effort to ensure that foster teens make successful transitions to adulthood, we are pleased and excited that the Teen Project is there to provide another urgently needed resource for these youth.” Gene Howard, Orangewood Children's Foundation

The Teen Project helps to provide these young adults with a sense of direction and hope as a result of their efforts to keep them off the street and in a safe environment. Not only does Teen Project help these unfortunate souls, they in turn, help all of us by creating a safer society for the future." Dave Navarro

The California Wellness Foundation

The mission of The California Wellness Foundation is to improve the health of the people of California by making grants for health promotion, wellness education and disease prevention.

Goals:

    • to address the particular health needs of traditionally underserved populations, including low-income individuals, people of color, youth and residents of rural areas;
    • to support and strengthen nonprofit organizations that seek to improve the health of underserved populations;
    • to recognize and encourage leaders who are working to increase health and wellness within their communities; and
    • to inform policymakers and opinion leaders about important wellness and health care issues.

The John Burton Foundation for Children without Homes

The John Burton Foundation for Children Without Homes was founded in 2004 by retired President Pro Tem of the California State Senate John Burton. Through the Foundation, Senator Burton promotes the values of nurturing children and youth who are less fortunate in life than most.

Bruce Willis and the National Foster Care Fund

Bruce Willis and The National Foster Care Fund have formed a strategic alliance with The Teen Project to raise scholarship funds for our emancipated foster youth! They have provided us with a check for $25,000 to start kick the program.
