“I’ve been volunteering with A Place Called Home since 2003,” said Keenan Claims Assistant Emily Hopton. “Then I joined their junior board, the Leadership Council, in 2017. When Keenan rolled out its volunteer-time-off program, I knew it was a great opportunity to get people involved with this wonderful organization. Like me, most employees who volunteer there fall in love.”
A Place Called Home provides after-school programs in areas such as art, education, dance, counseling, and health and wellness. It recently opened a teen center, The Bridge, across from its main campus that is also used as a new charter school called Rise High focusing on juvenile offenders, dropouts and homeless youth.
