Today's guest, Jeffrey Sitcov, the President and Founder of Doors of Change, a Non-Profit Organization that helps the homeless youth get immediate access to basic living supplies, general and mental healthcare, and safe housing.
Jeffrey has led a team of caring people wanting to help homeless youth get off the streets for over 21 years. Jeffrey has received awards locally and nationally, including the Channel 10 Leadership Award, Torrey Pines Bank Circle of Excellence Award, La Mesa Rotary "Peacemaker of the Year Award", and the Jewish Family Services Volunteer of the Year Award. He was also a semifinalist for the national Volvo For Life Award.
Since 2001, Doors of Change has been transforming the lives of homeless youth, one young person at a time. Originally called Photocharity, the 501(c)(3) has raised over $4.7 million. For more than 18 years we have helped place over 2,000 homeless youth in safe housing and off the streets.
In 2013 the agency identified a significant gap in the services and resources available to "transitional-age-youth" (those between the ages of 16 and 25) and decided to re-brand as Doors of Change and deliver a unique service to address this critical need. We work with youth ages 17-25 years old.
Recognizing that trust is often a significant barrier for youth in need of services, Doors of Change selected music and art as a non-threatening way to engage young people living on the streets. By offering music and art instruction in a small group setting, youth are given the opportunity to explore their feelings and challenges through the arts, achieve a sense of mastery for the first time, develop social skills that are positive and constructive, and create a vision for the future that is filled with possibility.
