This is a fantastic Los Angeles based organization empowering foster youth through education and housing program, advocacy, and consistent relationships with a community of people who care.

During the time of COVID, the services they provide are more critical than ever, and they could really use our help. Click here to learn more about what United Friends is doing right now in response to the coronavirus. .
