Impact You Can See

Stories, outcomes, and progress unfolding every day.

Maryvale serves children and families at every stage, from a child’s first classroom to a young adult finding stable ground.

Our impact is measurable, community‑driven, and grounded in long‑term stability. At Maryvale, our impact is rooted in people, not programs. Every outcome represents a child supported, a family strengthened, or a life redirected toward hope.

Why Maryvale’s Work Matters

Communities thrive when children feel safe, families are supported, and access to care is not determined by circumstance. Safe learning environments, responsive mental health services, and stable housing are essential foundations for long-term well-being.

As Los Angeles County’s longest-serving nonprofit organization, Maryvale delivers comprehensive children and family services designed to strengthen the whole household. Our work creates ripple effects that extend beyond individuals, strengthening neighborhoods and contributing to healthier communities.

2025 California Nonprofit of the Year

Recognized by Senator Blanca E. Rubio for Statewide Impact

In 2025, Maryvale was honored as California Nonprofit of the Year by Senator Blanca E. Rubio in recognition of our measurable impact and longstanding service to children and families throughout Los Angeles County. This statewide recognition highlights nonprofit organizations that demonstrate strong governance, fiscal responsibility, and meaningful community partnerships. Maryvale was selected for our comprehensive model of care that integrates early childhood education, youth mental health services, substance use treatment, and temporary housing for women and children.

This distinction reflects over 170 years of commitment to strengthening families, expanding access to care, and responding to evolving community needs. It affirms the trust placed in Maryvale by families, donors, community partners, and local leaders.

We are grateful to Senator Rubio and to the dedicated staff, volunteers, and supporters who make this impact possible every day.

“We are deeply honored to be recognized by both our state leaders and our community. These awards reflect the heart of our mission—providing hope, healing, and stability every day.”
