Safe Passage is focused on keeping kids healthy, educated, joyful and free from drugs, violence and gangs. We are all volunteer led and get this all done by help from other volunteer groups. Serving Communities In Need, Wherever They Are  Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that mobilizes military veterans and first responders to provide emergency disaster relief. Volunteers—known as "Greyshirts"—deploy to communities. The grey t-shirt has become more than just a symbol for the non profit organization. It represents an ethos of service, commitment, and sacrifice. Each year, tens of thousands of volunteers pull that simple, unassuming t-shirt over their heads and commit to transforming their communities.

☀️ Summer means NO days off for us. ☀️ Keeping kids safe, free of gangs and violence. Every Monday through Friday this summer, Safe Passage Youth is out here making sure kids in our community don’t go hungry. 🍳🥪 In partnership with CVUSD, we’re distributing FREE breakfast and lunch to children who need it most — because a full belly fuels a bright future. School may be out, but our commitment to these kids? Never stops. 💪 Thanks to CVUSD. We believe every child deserves to grow up healthy, strong, and full of promise — not just during the school year, but every single day. 🌟 From “at risk” to “at promise” — that’s the Safe Passage way.❤️❤️

Making kids happy, resilient and joyful comes in many ways. Being able to run, play, explore. To create music, art and friends ! This is what we do. We have such amazing partners. We are an all Volunteer organization, we partner with Rotary and the CRPD Park district, CVUSD schools, and the VCSO sheriffs department and organizations like Art Trek who come in and open pathways of curiosity. Always Free, children are on a passage way to joy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

School is out and we found 60 kids who just missed it so much that they came to our annual Winter Peace Day Camp. Partnered with Art Trek, CRPD and Rotary, this combination incorporates incredible activities for kids all day long. A perfect way to bring in the valentines weekend. Music Classes, Art Projects, Games, Crafts, Peace Themes, Kids being Kids, running free, letting their minds be curious. Always free, never a fee. We bring kids together from schools across the area so the children meet and learn with others not from their neighborhood. This incorporates a sense of peace and joy and community. This is how you make communities stronger, families happy and kids resilient. ❤️❤️

Teens take Drug Awareness classes this weekend so they can help others. A great class that we taught with the help of the County of Ventura Public Health for teen leaders. Keeping communities safe and healthy is what Safe Passage does. Families become resilient and joyful
