About Us
About Us
Founded in 1999, H.E.L.P.E.R. Foundation (Formerly known as "Venice 2000") is a non-profit 501 (c)3 organization that was originally established to provide gang intervention and prevention services. Since that time, we have come to believe that "community intervention" services are needed now more than ever to combat gang-related violence, the destruction of our communities, and the loss of our young people to the lure of economic depravity.
Goal
The goal of H.E.L.P.E.R. Foundation is to provide the resources and guidance to help struggling youth and community members of all ages make the transition from negative, anti-social behavior to positive, value-centered alternatives.
At H.E.L.P.E.R., one of our main focuses is violence reduction. This is done by engaging the most vulnerable and high risk populations in individual & group counseling, leadership training, field trips, mentoring, tutoring, job development, job training and workshops. We also provide community service, gang intervention services, anger management and conflict resolution for at risk youths in the community. Our staff has successfully provided services throughout the Los Angeles county.
We subscribe to a comprehensive, integrated, community based collaborative approach providing services to the youth that enhance community safety while strengthening and preserving families
