OUR PROGRAMS

Our Presents Program

The Presents Program is the heart of everything PRESENT NOW does. Three distinct focus areas help children who are living in shelters know that they are not forgotten as we celebrate their special moments and new beginnings.

Our Presence of Joy Program

Presence of Joy is an educational program for Los Angeles high school students designed to raise awareness about domestic violence, shelter life, and teen dating violence. Students also participate in select activities during Domestic Violence Awareness month in October that bring joy to children living in domestic violence shelters.
