ORION BRUTOCO

Orion Brutoco is the Founder and Executive Director at the Social Justice Team, where he is on a mission to help others rediscover their passions and life’s purpose. After graduating from Hawaii Pacific University with a Bachelor of Science in Advertising/Public Relations, Orion established himself in the sales and marketing field. Throughout his life he has always had a passion for helping others. He’s done this through volunteering with youth, at-risk youth, and other nonprofits concerned with raising advocating for social justice.

Orion began speaking in prisons and gravitated to a central role in managing volunteers at a juvenile rehabilitation camp for male youth offenders. It was here where he began the journey of his life’s purpose. In 2016 Orion began studying for his Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California’s Suzanne Dworak-Peck’s School of Social Work.

The mission of the Social Justice Team is to provide underserved populations in Los Angeles with free mental healthcare and diverse supportive services. These include classes in health, exercise, mindfulness, meditation, music and art.
