ABOUT US
Taller San Jose (St. Joseph’s Workshop) is a place where undereducated, unskilled and unemployed young adults who have taken the wrong path can find hope.  The Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange opened Taller San Jose in 1995 in response to the high rate of crime and gang violence prevalent in the City of Santa Ana, California, the number one city in the United States with the most hardship according to a 2004 study by the Rockefeller Institute of Government.  Since then, Taller has helped over 3,000 high-risk youth, ages 18 to 28, restructure their lives, finish high school and develop marketable skills.  Taller San Jose’s educational and job-training programs help lay the foundation for our students’ future stability and success.  Throughout each and every interaction with students, Taller San Jose works to instill the values of dignity, responsibility and community.
