The Teen Project consisting of a number of facets including Sober College Housing, The National Shelter Database, The Free TEXT Shelter Service, National Mentoring Program and the Venice Beach PAD (Protection and Direction) Drop-in Center has established itself as a “parent to the parentless” and assists in the difficult transition that foster teens often face when turning 18.
