Jenesse Center, Inc. is the oldest domestic violence intervention program in South Los Angeles. Five African American women who were survivors of domestic violence, and committed to creating a safe place for victims and their families founded the center in 1980. Our mission is to provide victims of domestic violence with a comprehensive, trauma-informed, centralized base of support that is culturally responsive, and ensures their transition from immediate crisis to stability and self-sufficiency. We seek to prevent and end the cycle of domestic violence through education, public awareness and outreach initiatives, public policy and advocacy strategies, and innovative collaborations with key partners.
