Extraordinary Families

Extraordinary Families is a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California, dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth in foster care. Their mission is to provide safe homes for children, build forever families through adoption, and empower former foster youth through their UP4Youth program. They welcome individuals over the age of 25, regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity, who are interested in fostering a child or youth in need.

With a strong focus on creating nurturing environments, Extraordinary Families supported 163 children in 2022 and finalized 32 adoptions. They also provided assistance to 95 transition-age youth, helping them counter the challenges of exiting foster care and achieve their full potential. Through their dedicated support team and trained mentors, they offer life skills training and connect youth to essential resources. Extraordinary Families is committed to ensuring that every child, youth, and family in the child welfare system can have the childhoods and futures they rightfully deserve.
