A Home Within 195 41st Street, Oakland, CA 94611

A Home Within is a transformative institution located at 195 41st Street in Oakland, California, United States. For the past 30 years, they have been connecting individuals who are currently or were previously in foster care with dedicated volunteer therapists, empowering both to thrive. In 2024, A Home Within will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary by honoring their extraordinary history and building towards the future.

Volunteer therapists are invited to join the A Home Within community by offering one free hour of therapy each week to individuals with experience in foster care. In return, volunteers gain access to ongoing virtual clinical consultation, continuing education, and various professional development opportunities. Many therapists have described their experience with A Home Within as one of the most rewarding of their clinical careers, providing a sense of purpose and empowerment in the face of social injustice.

Clients who have experienced foster care can receive open-ended, individual psychotherapy free of charge from A Home Within-affiliated therapists. The support is offered for as long as it takes, helping individuals break free from cycles of trauma and create positive change in their lives.
