We are located in Utah, but we help young women from across the nation, including Arizona.
Our approach is founded upon five core principles:
Our girls have also the possibility to go on with high school or college studies, or even get a job, they’re encouraged to be as independent as they can be.
Unlike other independent living programs which help young women from Arizona, we do many fun activities in addition to a traditional residential model. Throughout their stay at Journey Home, young women can have fun with Fun Food Friday, snow sports in the winter, visiting museums, going to movies, exploring the local outdoors by hiking and biking, and many other local events and activities.
