Since 1950 Ettie Lee Youth &
Family Services has been helping children. Today Ettie Lee Youth &
Family Services provides a continuum of services for abused, neglected
and emotionally troubled boys and girls and their families in Los
Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange Counties.
In our nine Residential Treatment
group homes for boys age 8-18 we assist troubled teen boys and their
families to develop skills to lead successful lives.
We place abused, neglected and
abandoned foster children - ages infants up to age 18 - into loving
foster families throughout the San Gabriel Valley. We are also an
adoption agency that can facilitate the adoptions of children into
permanent and loving homes.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear
Friends,
As
we get closer to our 60th anniversary (Ettie Lee was founded in 1950), more than
ever we appreciate, you, our supporters. You have always made it possible for
us to work with abused, neglected and abandoned youth in our communities. It
has been our unwavering mission and we will always value your contributions,
participation and feedback.
We
are in a unique position to help our youth. We understand that children are
growing up in increasingly dangerous communities. We understand that children
need to be loved. We understand that children need to have positive role
models. We understand that children need to learn new ways to manage their
anger. We understand that children need to feel respected. With your help we
are able to continually strive for each child to be safe, in school, out of
trouble, and either in or working toward living in a permanent family environment.
We
have been able to accomplish so much because of your help during this year.
Some of the highlights of our busy year include:
•Forming
an Individualized Education Program for at-risk youth in a contained
environment designed so that each youth has the opportunity to catch up in
school and graduate on time
•Reactivating
our adoption license allowing us to finalize seven adoptions
•Receiving
full support of our evidence-based treatment program from the Los Angeles
Probation Department
•Spending
more time with youngsters due to the implementation of an efficient
computerized record system
•Honoring
home parents Kathy and Dean Binks for 40 years of service at Ettie Lee
As
we conclude our year, we remain grateful to our families, partners and supporters
for your continued commitment to help the youth in our communities. Together we
are saving lives, changing lives and bringing hope for vulnerable children and
their families.
Fondly,
Clayton
