Friends of the Family is among the most highly regarded family resource centers in Southern California. The organization provides a safety net of support for families as they struggle to care for their children in the face of multiple challenges including poverty, community violence, isolation, language barriers, and inadequate schools. Our organization serves more than 5,000 family members each year with a range of programs that result in improved family and community health, educational readiness and achievement, family economic self-sufficiency, and community unity. Our vision is the creation of vibrant communities where all children and families thrive and succeed. We work to help families foster resilient and joyful children who will be able to realize whatever unique potential of mind, body, and spirit he or she possesses.
