At-Risk Youth Programs in Southern California
Skughofey Foundation is a Southern California nonprofit dedicated to serving at-risk youth who face systemic barriers to success. Based in Pasadena, CA, we reach youth across the San Gabriel Valley, greater Los Angeles County, and beyond with programs that replace negative influences with positive mentorship, academic achievement, and a strong sense of identity.
Why At-Risk Youth Need Support
At-risk youth in Southern California face unique challenges: poverty, school dropout risk, gang exposure, trauma, and lack of consistent adult role models. Without intervention, these youth face higher rates of incarceration, unemployment, and chronic hardship. Skughofey Foundation's programs provide the structure, encouragement, and opportunity that every child deserves.
