Ettie Lee Youth & Family Services was founded 55 years ago by Miss Ettie Lee, a Los Angeles high-school teacher who opened the first group home in America. A pioneer in the field of child welfare, we have helped thousands of youngsters rebuild their lives, and heal the pain of abuse, abandonment and neglect. Our mission is to assist troubled youth who are in need of guidance and support to develop values and skills that will facilitate their success in life. We work with youth and their families throughout the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino.
