“To me, being at Mondays at the Mission lets me open and shine through. It lets me know that I have the talents and to believe in myself. No matter who you are or what you are, never change yourself, be your own idol in your heart and soul.
— Maria, 17
“Mondays at the Mission helped me feel not so alone while I was experiencing homelessness.”

Unlock Every Dream
Mondays at the Mission is a career and life skills program dedicated to transforming the lives of homeless youth aged 12-18 living on Skid Row, downtown Los Angeles.
Through weekly mentor-based classes, students meet doctors, lawyers, artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, athletes, and other visionaries who share their knowledge, experience, and life stories, helping young people build confidence, discover new possibilities, and pursue their dreams.
Mentorship
We connect young people with accomplished professionals who expand their vision of what is possible.
Skill Development
We equip students with practical career and life skills they can carry far beyond the classroom.
Community Engagement
We bring an extraordinary community of artists, leaders, innovators, and changemakers directly into the lives of young people who may otherwise never meet them.
Impact
We measure success not simply by what students learn, but by the confidence, ambition, and possibilities they carry into their futures.
