The Advanced Studies program came about through the situation of one dynamic young lady, Kim (pictured at left), who was a former foster youth in Orange County. With her intelligence, determination and a scholarship from Orangewood’s Children Trust Fund, she enrolled in U.C. Irvine and four years later successfully obtained her B.A. in Social Science in 2009. After college her goal was to pursue a Masters degree and she was accepted into several prestigious programs. While several of the offers included scholarship support, acceptance into her first choice, Harvard University, did not. After hearing Kim speak at several Orangewood fundraising events over the years and learning more about her story, two generous Orangewood donors created the Advanced Studies fund to help her and other students. Kim graduated in May 2010 with a Master of Education, Risk and Prevention, from Harvard and today works in the field of social work and education in the Boston area.
