Unleashed Training to Transition (UNLEASHED) is a non-profit organization based in Sherman Oaks, CA, dedicated to providing transitional age youth with the necessary skills and support to break the cycle of poverty and unemployment. Through their innovative program, participants learn practical life skills, job training, and educational opportunities by training and caring for dogs. UNLEASHED relies on the generosity of volunteers and donations to continue their mission of empowering marginalized youth and helping them reach their full potential. Founded by Sharon Farkas, who has over 35 years of experience in educating disadvantaged youth, UNLEASHED began as a program at Central Juvenile Hall in Downtown Los Angeles. The initial success of the program, which focused on basic dog training and life skills, led to measurable positive changes in the behavior of the participating children. With the support of therapy dog organizations, UNLEASHED has expanded its reach and continues to make a significant impact on the lives of transitional age youth, providing them with the respect, support, and opportunities they deserve.
