Project Turnaround

The Pioneers Club is a program developed by San Diego based Project Turnaround, which was founded as a non-profit public benefit corporation in 1984. Its purpose is to research and develop social, intellectual, cultural programs and events for the young adult community with behavorial and social problems.

Project Turnaround values individuals of all religions, creeds, races and national origins.

Project Turnaround's philosophy is that when human beings shift their fundamental orientation in life, possibilities that transcend circumstances and limitations become available.

Project Turnaround's intention is to empower individuals to discover the opportunities available to them, so that they can create a future in alignment with their dreams and visions.

Project Turnaround is currently applying for grants in pursuit of our dream to establish a cultural and career center that offers both day and residential programs to its clients.
