Joe Torre, together with his wife Ali, founded the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation in 2002 to end the cycle of violence and abuse through education and to create a world where every young person feels safe, supported, and empowered.
Joe is known for his 60-year baseball career and for being a nine-time All-Star, Hall of Famer, Broadcaster, Executive, and manager for the Mets, Braves, Cardinals, Yankees, and Dodgers. But behind all the success was a hidden story—he grew up in an abusive home, carrying the pain of fear, isolation, and shame. As he came to terms with those experiences, he and Ali were moved to make sure no child felt as alone as he once did.
At the heart of Safe At Home is Margaret’s Place, named in honor of Joe’s mother. Margaret’s Place creates safe spaces inside schools, offering healing, understanding, and empowerment. Through trauma-informed intervention and prevention services, every child learns what healthy relationships look like, how to care for themselves and each other, and how to support friends in need—so that they feel safer and braver at school, at home, and wherever they go.
The Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation is working to end the cycle of domestic violence through its comprehensive youth programming. The Margaret's Place program is a school-based violence intervention and prevention program designed to help students, faculty, and families address violence in school, at home and in the community. The Margaret's Place program addresses the underlying causes of violence and the impact of victimization through a variety of counseling and psycho-educational modalities, including art-based interventions: an interactive trauma education/violence prevention curriculum; individual and group counseling; a peer leadership program; school staff, parent and community workshops/outreach; anti-violence campaigns; and more.
This is a grant-funded, school-based position.
The Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation provides equal opportunity in employment for all qualified persons and prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, partnership status, disability, genetic information, alienage, citizenship, military or veteran status, status as a victim of domestic violence/stalking/sex offenses, and unemployment status.
