Optimist Youth Homes and Family Services provides a comprehensive continuum of care to youth in and at-risk of foster care. In 2024, Optimist opened a Clubhouse known as Leading Optimism Los Angeles (LOLA), which provides a therapeutic working community for young adults with serious mental illness. The Clubhouse offers a variety of supports including crisis intervention and employment resources. Funding will allow Optimist to add an additional staff member to assist youth in connecting to employment opportunities.
