Safe At My House
Organization Details
We provide financial and emotional support to young people aged 15-26 in an effort to prevent violence and heal past trauma.
Impact Story
The founder, Julie Gillette, formed Safe At My House in the wake of her nephew’s friend who was a young victim of gun violence in Orange County. He was only 17 years old and still had his whole life ahead of him. As for the perpetrator, another teen, he will face the serious legal repercussions of his actions over his inability to resolve disputes without violence. These two teens lost their lives because there was no system in place to prevent this type of horrible event. Safe At My House envisions a close-knit community that provides mentors and peers that intervene in moments of crisis and heal the trauma that violence causes.
