We Are Here For You

A Message from our Executive Director

For many of us and our communities, this year has begun with loss, uncertainty, and other difficult challenges. Journeys works with many educators and film professionals in Los Angeles, where the effects of multiple wildfires are devastating. Others beyond L.A. may also be affected by these events as reminders of experiences with climate disasters, relocation, or housing insecurity. Many vulnerable and systemically oppressed communities are feeling the weight and worry of a world full of hostility. At Journeys, we are feeling all of these things, too.

We want to thank you for your commitment to supporting your students, colleagues, and communities. We know that you are working to create classroom and community spaces that are safe and welcoming, a respite no matter the circumstances. We appreciate that this is incredibly difficult work.

We stand with you in this commitment to classroom safety and community. We will continue to provide free resources that not only meet educational standards, but more importantly, that focus on empathy, compassion, global understanding, and connection.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us regarding our work and your needs. The best way to connect with us is through email. You can reach me directly at jennifer@journeysinfilm.org. We are incredibly grateful to be connected to each and every one of you and appreciate all that you do.
