New Door Ventures

New Door Ventures helps disconnected youth get ready for work and life.

New Door Ventures was founded as Golden Gate Community, Inc. in 1981 by a Christian faith community that desired to provide compassionate service to San Francisco’s homeless. The founders soon realized that solving the problem of homelessness required jobs, skills and opportunities, in addition to love and emergency shelter. The early leaders were social entrepreneurs before the term existed, creating businesses and opportunities for work that created pathways to sustainable lives.
