Amity Foundation

Happy Women's History Month! We stand for women's rights and work to ensure that women everywhere have access to the support and treatment they need to lead healthy and happy lives.

Today marks the third anniversary of the passing of Amity Foundation's founder, Naya Arbiter. Today we celebrate her contributions to therapeutic communities, commitment to justice, and friendship. 🌻 Naya built Amity into the dynamic teaching community it is today and spent 50 years dedicated to social justice and the inclusion of men, women and children.

Amity Foundation is excited to join @LACJCOD @judgesonghai at @SXSW on March 10th for our panel, “Community Champions: Driving Social Justice Forward.” We will be highlighting powerful voices leading change and advancing social justice in our communities and sharing all of the great work we have been involved in here in LA County. By sharing our mission with others we hope to connect, inspire, and drive impact. #SXSW2025 #SocialJustice #CommunityChampions

Last week, Amity Foundation hosted a convening with partners in the Department of Labor Growth Opportunities project! Participants shared how this project has helped them gain workforce training and build a better life for themselves as they re-enter the community. Ferre's personal story of resilience as she worked to achieve her goals is an inspiring example of why we must invest in building up our community; so that everyone has the opportunity to lead a safe and fulfilling life.

Faculty at our Broadway campus participated in leadership & development training last month! 👩🏫👨🏫 Ensuring we're constantly leveling up our skills is a major priority here at Amity Foundation, so we're providing the best service to our students. Thank you to everyone who attended.

#BlackHistoryMonth is an important time to honor those in the past and present who have left their mark on us. Today, Allen Richards, VP of ECM Services, honors a mentor who taught him that our mistakes don't define who we are and that everyone deserves a second chance.

We strive to empower our students to find their voice and a strong sense of self. 💪 So that they can stay committed to their recovery, and show up as their best selves in the community.

As #BlackHistoryMonth begins, we wanted to share this message from Amity Foundation President & CEO, Doug Bond. 📜 As an organization dedicated to fostering change, we are committed to taking meaningful steps to learn, teach, & remember Black history every single day.

They're runners, they're track stars 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️ Ozzie Terriquez & Cesar Quijano from our Vista Ranch campus completed the Anza Borrego Cuyamaca 50-mile race last week! Running has become a community activity for faculty and students alike at Vista Ranch. Last summer, a few faculty and students ran the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon, and this year Ozzie is preparing for the upcoming SD100 mile race that Cesar completed last year! We're excited to cheer them on as they challenge their endurance and explore new terrains. Listen to Cesar share how running has supported his reentry on LAist ! https://lnkd.in/eX-SvUnd
