Vallejo Project: Transforming Futures Through Mindfulness and Self Reflection

Mission

The Vallejo Project empowers transitional-age youth by providing holistic support in healthcare, housing, employment, and education. Through trauma-informed care and community-based initiatives, we equip young people with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

Vision

Our vision is a future where every young person in Vallejo has access to stable housing, quality education, sustainable employment, and comprehensive healthcare.
