orangewood foundation
Orangewood Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and one of the leading providers of services to youth in Orange County. Orangewood helps almost 2,000 youth annually prepare for independent adulthood. The “Orangewood Way” recognizes that relationships with our youth is one of collaboration and partnership. Their staff works one-on-one with our youth to help them identify their own strengths, attributes, and aptitudes to empower them to overcome their challenges and reach their greatest potential. The Orangewood staff works with youth in four critical areas: health & wellness, housing, life skills & employment, and education. They meet a broad array of needs: from groceries and a hot meal, to transitional housing, to life skills workshops and employment leads, to the innovative Samueli Academy public charter school and scholarships for college and graduate school.
