From Survival to Stability
We help survivors of abuse step into safe, sustainable careers — transforming fear into financial independence.
Empowering Survivors Through a Path to Stability
At iJourney Foundation, we believe lasting change comes from opportunity, not charity. Our programs are designed to help survivors of abuse rebuild their lives with safety, dignity, and a clear path to independence.
Ongoing Empowerment
From mentorship to financial literacy, we invest in survivors’ long-term growth — helping them not only find work but build a future of self-reliance and resilience.
Career Pathways
By connecting survivors to protective work programs and employer partnerships, we ensure they can build sustainable income while safeguarding their privacy and security.
License Funding
We cover the cost of insurance licensing, exam fees, and study resources, removing financial barriers that prevent survivors from stepping into stable careers.
Transitional Support
In some urgent cases, when resources allow, we can provide short-term housing and relocation assistance, creating a safe bridge for survivors as they prepare for their next chapter.
Transforming Dependency into Independence.
We are more than a nonprofit — we are a bridge to independence. At iJourney Foundation, we turn hardship into hope by providing survivors of abuse the tools and support needed to rebuild safe, sustainable lives. Through licensing, career pathways, and transitional support, we help survivors not only survive, but thrive.
