About the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation / Sheriff’s Youth Activities League Program

The Sheriff’s Youth Foundation of Los Angeles County exists because we believe safe communities don’t just “happen.” We believe it takes vigilance, teamwork and the collective desire of residents to live in a place where they and their children are safe. The Foundation exists because our children are the future, and we want to equip them for success.

If a child grows up seeing nothing other than a cycle of crime, drugs and abusive lifestyles, chances are that child will continue the cycle. But if the child sees a better way — a path to a productive, safe and happy life — they will invariably size up the options, and choose well.

Through the Foundation’s various programs, we show them a path to success. The Foundation and its team of deputies, civilian employees and volunteers help at-risk youth throughout the county to grow, be healthy and develop the tools they need to become successful adults.

Through seven mission-specific programs, the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation steers kids clear from drugs and crime, helps them pursue positive after-school activities, and enables them to see a future for themselves as productive adults living in safe communities. The Foundation achieves successes every day, making positive impacts on youths throughout our vast county. It is one of the most gratifying aspects of working in law enforcement — being able to make a positive impact on one’s community.
