PURSUING JUSTICE AND HAPPINESS THROUGH FAITH
This project addresses the lack of understanding between immigrant women dealing with domestic violence and their faith communities. License to Freedom and Imam Amir Bajelori from the Al-Salam Mosque have created a partnership to educate the community and organizations to address the issues of domestic violence.

DRIVER'S LICENSE EDUCATION PROJECT
Learner’s Permit Preparation Classes offered for women who are planning to take written test at the California Department of Motor Vehicles. License To Freedom’s staff and volunteers teach these classes.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION
Taking a more proactive approach, License to Freedom conducts domestic violence trainings and workshops for local immigrant and refugee serving organizations. License to Freedom also offers community outreach programs such as parenting classes and arts and crafts workshops.

COMMUNITY DIALOGE FOR CHANGE
Through the Community Dialogue for Change Program we seek to engage people through conversation and active learning to educate them about the issues surrounding domestic violence, including the American legal system and wider concepts of human rights definitions of abuse, the importance of communication and preventative measures, and their civil rights and recourses to legal action as U.S. citizens. Classes also include ESL services to aid the development of their English language abilities.
