Sojourner Center’s 124-bed shelter campus is one of the largest in the nation. Other services include community case management, lay legal advocacy, licensed childcare, and transitional housing.

She has also led the development of the Vanguard Program, designed to enlist the community to be at the forefront of the domestic violence movement. Since 1985, Ms. Mason has worked in various settings with victims of violence and compounding issues of chemical dependency, gang affiliation, teen pregnancy, and juvenile delinquency.
