About SOJOURNER PROJECT INC

Sojourner Project, Inc. (known as Sojourner) is a Hopkins, Minnesota–based 501(c)(3) that has provided emergency shelter, legal advocacy, community education, and prevention programming for people affected by domestic violence since its founding in 1977. The agency opened one of Minnesota’s earliest battered women’s shelters in 1979 and today operates a confidential emergency shelter, a 24/7 crisis line, community legal advocacy, outreach and youth education (SafeU), and related support services. Sojourner serves survivors across west Hennepin County and maintains partnerships with multiple local police departments, health providers, schools, and community organizations. In recent years the organization has continued to operate at scale: its most recent filings and reports show active shelter operations, hundreds of therapy and direct-advocacy hours annually, and large-scale community education outreach.
