Founded in 2002 by Ali and Joe Torre, the Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation (SAH) helps children impacted by violence and abuse by providing resources and support within schools to help children learn coping skills, build resilience, discover their voice, and find hope and healing for their futures.
The Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation is working to end the cycle of domestic violence through its comprehensive youth programming. The Margaret's Place program is a school-based violence intervention and prevention program designed to help students, faculty, and families address violence in school, at home, and in the community. The Margaret's Place program addresses the underlying causes of violence and the impact of victimization through a variety of counseling and psycho-educational modalities including art-based interventions: an interactive trauma education/violence prevention curriculum; individual and group counseling; a peer leadership program; school staff, parent, and community workshops/outreach; anti-violence campaigns, and more.
With an annual operating budget of over $5 million, SAH currently operates 18 sites in California, New York, Ohio, and two international locations in Tahiti. https://joetorre.org/
