Covenant House California addresses homelessness when it begins – in young adulthood, when HOPE and possibility are still strong. We EMPOWER youth to harness their strengths, that they may leave homelessness behind for good.

Covenant House California is committed to maintaining a Board of Directors, Leadership and Staff that reflect the agency’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion; and that represents the youth and community we serve. And, we urge our partners, vendors, and supporters to make the same commitment.

Covenant House California understands that diversity means many different things to many different people and defines it broadly to be inclusive of many different elements of human groups, but to focus particularly on: Racial and ethnic groups, Gender Identity and Expression, Sexual Orientation (LGBT+ populations), and People with Disabilities. Our objectives are to improve equity through promoting justice, impartiality, and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources at Covenant House CA. And further, to increase inclusion and foster belonging which ensures diverse individuals can fully participate in agency decision-making processes.

Our doors are open to youth and staff regardless of their race, religion and sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
