Our Mission: The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation (CLF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to transforming the lives of underserved, BIPOC youth and houseless families living in shelters and transitional housing in Los Angeles through a unique approach of providing outdoor education through amazing Summer and Surf Camps, inspiring Holiday Events and awesome Field Trips in and around Los Angeles, and Educational Assistance and Scholarships for youth through to college-age. We also provided crucial Emergency Funding during the COVID-19 Crisis to the families in our Vita Network.

Over 85,000 underserved, primarily BIPOC and Latinx youth and families have been served since 1993.

The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation has been working for 28 years to help disenfranchised, low-income and homeless families and young teens feel worthy of their very best lives. We will continue to work hard to promote racial equity in our work & through our programming. #BlackLivesMatter #BIPOCLIVESMATTER
