ABOUT US
Welcome to Optimist Youth Homes & Family Services, one of the oldest and largest non-profit child welfare agencies in Southern California.
I urge you to review our storied history, the many programs we offer, our publications, and ways to help this nationally accredited organization either through financial contributions or by applying to become a volunteer, mentor, staff member or a foster parent.
We are proud of our past and we look forward to our bright future as we continually adjust and expand to meet the ever-changing needs of the children and families that we serve. But we cannot do it alone. Won’t you join us in some way so that we can continue to help those we serve make positive changes in their lives that will last a lifetime?
