Portfolio Post #9

LOS ANGELES, CA

Founded in 1908, Vista Del Mar is a 114-year-old non-profit organization that began service to the community by founding the first cottage-style orphanage in Southern California. Today, they provide a trauma-responsive continuum of services to empower children, youth, and families in Southern California to lead fulfilling lives. Located on an 18-acre campus in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, the organization has begun to open to the surrounding community. The Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center is a major step in that direction.
