OUR MISSION

The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation (CLF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to transforming the lives of youth and houseless families living in shelters and transitional housing located in historically underserved neighborhoods of Los Angeles. We have a unique approach of providing outdoor and marine education through free Summer and Surf Camps, inspiring Holiday Events, awesome Field Trips in and around Los Angeles, and Educational Assistance and Scholarships for youth. We also provided crucial Emergency Funding during the COVID-19 Crisis to the families in our Vita Network. Over 95,000 underserved, primarily BIPOC and Latinx youth and families have been served since 1993.
