The K9 Connection program brings the magic of dogs and at-risk youth together, teaching 12-16 year olds to train homeless shelter dogs in basic obedience. This program empowers the teenagers to apply the lessons they teach the dogs to their own lives; to develop an awareness of the risks of uncontrolled and impulsive behavior, and to believe in the power of positive reinforcement as an alternative to force and violence.
Samoshel, OPCC's newest program, is the only full service emergency shelter and 6 month shelter/transitional housing on the Westside of Los Angeles to address the needs of homeless and homeless mentally ill men and women, assisting them in attaining stabilization, independence and self-sufficiency.
