Goal
It's the time of the year for our annual Orange County Orangewood Drive! Orphan Assistance Fund is proud to contribute to Orangewood Foundation for the 3rd consecutive Winter season. Read below for a statement from our partners:
Orangewood Foundation Mission: To strive for equity for our youth by valuing and supporting the life they envision.
Our programs focus on four areas of services that are designed to support our youth on their path to self-sufficiency.
Health & Wellness, Housing, Life Skills & Employment, Education
Orangewood Foundations serves youth ages fifteen through twenty-four years of age.
The Statistics: within 18 months of aging out of foster care 50% of youth become homeless. 50% experience unemployment and 60% have annual incomes of less than $6,000. Only 58% of California foster youth in their senior of high school will graduate, versus 84% of their peers. Orangewood programs include Samueli Academy a school for students 7th thru 12th grade. We have officially opened an on-campus residential Youth Connected Program for foster youth to live on campus and attend school.
