The mission of GROWTH Foundation is to help youth and adults reach their academic and occupational goals, and achieve self sufficiency and overall well-being.  

GROWTH Foundation, Inc. formed in January 2006 as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit California Corporation to provide supportive services to at-risk youth and their families, including an award winning after school program, employment preparation, advocacy and referrals. 

GROWTH has since shifted its focus to assisting those in need with education costs via the GROWTH Foundation Scholarship, while continuing to provide one-on-one support to former after school participants who continue to work towards their academic and occupational goals.  Such long term relationships make GROWTH unique.  

Additionally, GROWTH has partnered with drug treatment professionals to develop PEN TO PAPER: Journaling to Heal, a workshop designed for parents (and future parents) of at-risk youth to help break the cycle of abuse and addiction.  To learn more, please visit our PEN TO PAPER page.
