THE ORGANIZATION:

Maryvale is the longest-operating child welfare agency in Los Angeles. Maryvale’s mission, inspired by the compassionate service of the Vincentian Founders, faithful to Catholic Social Teaching rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the charism of the Daughters of Charity, is to heal, empower and educate children and families to instill hope for a more fulfilling future. This is achieved by providing residential, educational, mental health, and community-based services in an environment of dignity, love and respect.

In 1856, five Daughters of Charity traveled from Maryland to Los Angeles to open the area’s first orphanage. In 1953, Maryvale benefactress Carrie Estelle Doheny helped obtain land in Rosemead for what is now known as Maryvale. Over the years, Maryvale’s evolution from an orphanage to an agency providing care for foster youth mirrors the development of the child welfare system in the United States as a whole.

Maryvale’s programs and services are offered at their 16-acre Rosemead campus, with one additional program site in Duarte. Maryvale employs 294 staff and serves almost 900 unduplicated individuals annually. The organization’s budget is $22 million and the Board is comprised of nine members.

All Maryvale programs are guided by the principles of Trauma Informed Care – a proactive treatment model that recognizes the impact of trauma on children and youth and offers interventions that address both trauma-related symptoms and their underlying causes. Maryvale provides the following types of service:

1. Residential Services including an Emergency Placement Center for young children and a Residential Treatment Program for teenage girls.

2. Community-Based Services including a Community Mental Health Program and Wraparound services for children and families.

3. Early Education Services including two preschool programs for children from birth to enrollment in kindergarten, and, in Duarte, a Before-and-After-School program for children up to age 12.
