About

Justice Overcoming Boundaries maintains a College Area office at 5863 Hardy Avenue, San Diego, CA 92115, three blocks south of SDSU, where the faith-based community organizing nonprofit trains grassroots leaders across San Diego County. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) under EIN 20-0929070 and belongs to the national Gamaliel Network of civic-engagement affiliates. JOB's core model uses an intensive, hands-on leadership development curriculum that equips residents from immigrant, low-income, and communities of color with the skills to shape public policy at local, state, and federal levels. The organization builds coalition networks through congregations including Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and other faith institutions that anchor the El Cajon Boulevard corridor and extend into South County organizing work. Active campaign areas include comprehensive immigration reform, DREAM Act advocacy, domestic worker protections, transportation equity, and healthcare access across the 92115 ZIP code and beyond. Civic participation programming focuses on naturalization support, voter registration drives in immigrant-dense neighborhoods, and civic education workshops that demystify ballot measures and local government processes. Lead Organizer and Director Christina Gonzales coordinates a coalition of faith, labor, education, and business partners that extends JOB's organizing reach into every council district in the region. JOB also organizes Fiesta del Sol San Diego, the largest Latino family festival in the county, which draws upward of 75,000 attendees and involves hundreds of young volunteers in event logistics, cultural programming, and community outreach at venues including Colina del Sol Park Recreation Center. The Hardy Avenue office anchors a network of more than 30 institutional partners across faith, education, business, and labor sectors. Grassroots leaders trained through the JOB curriculum have testified before city council, county supervisors, and state legislative committees on immigration, transit, and housing policy.
