About the Program
The organization for At-Risk Women, children, and teens is a subdivision of the Louisiana-based JCB Foundation. With the same core values in our hearts, we are expanding operations to assist the state of Arizona. I, Ravon Barnett Wattley, started this foundation because we know from experience how it feels to be disadvantaged. As a child, there were times when we could not afford food, electricity, gas, stable living conditions, or other necessities. My hometown suffered similar circumstances, so my goal is for this foundation to provide the aid I wish I had as an adolescent.
My short-term goal is to help victims of homelessness and domestic violence survivors find resources. I will utilize existing community programs such as counseling programs and free clinics to help these families take care of their most basic needs. Additionally, I will lead volunteer events and fundraisers to offset some of their costs during their transition, such as move-in fees and transportation. My long-term goal is to build and manage a shelter for those in need and help residents secure employment, stable living situations, therapy, and rehabilitation.
