Why Our Work Matters
Across the country, LGBTQ+ youth account for nearly one-third of children in foster care. These young people face disproportionate challenges—those with foster care histories are three times more likely to have attempted suicide and are significantly more vulnerable to housing instability and homelessness than their non-LGBTQ+ peers.
At Oak Grove Sanctuary Palm Springs, we are committed to breaking this cycle. Our program provides safe, stable housing and comprehensive support services designed to empower LGBTQ+ foster youth as they transition into adulthood. We help residents build the confidence, resilience, and skills needed to become self-sufficient, thriving members of the community.
As a program of Oak Grove Center, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID# 33-0470446), we rely on the generous support of our community to sustain and grow this life-changing work. Your contributions directly fund educational opportunities, life skills training, mental health care, and a nurturing environment where each resident is valued and affirmed.
