United Friends is a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, CA, dedicated to empowering foster youth since 1979. Through their housing and educational services, they assist current and former foster youth in transitioning to adulthood, providing critical support such as tutoring, counseling, therapy, and food to help them recover from the effects of the pandemic.
With the largest concentration of foster youth in the nation, United Friends recognizes the challenges these young individuals face, including homelessness, incarceration, poor educational attainment, and lack of employment. However, their programs have shown remarkable success, with high school graduation rates of 99% for students in their Scholars Program, 70% earning a bachelor's degree, and 87% of Pathways alumni in stable housing. By fostering long-term consistent relationships, United Friends unlocks the potential of foster youth and helps them lead successful lives.
