The Orangewood Resource Center (ORC) is a drop-in center for current and emancipated foster youth in Orange County. The ORC provides supportive services focusing on education, employment, housing and health. Our main goal is to empower foster youth by providing them with the vital resources they need to become independent.

Drop-in hours are:
Monday-Thursday 9:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
Friday 9:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. and 2:00-5:00 P.M.
Closed Saturdays and Sundays

Youth can visit the Orangewood Resource Center and:

• Access employment leads, create professional resumes, and receive interview tips
• Receive guidance and assistance when considering options after high school
• Utilize career assessments and explore careers
• Find shelter information and housing resources
• Receive information on other Foundation programs and the application process
• Access Foundation Peer Mentors, computers, a telephone, a copier, a fax machine, and a washer/dryer
• Access food, hygiene items and clothing (depending on availability)

Want to help? Without a family to rely on for support and resources, foster teens released from the system at age 18 turn to Orangewood for help. Our Resource Center and other programs frequently are in need of non-perishable food, hygiene and other items.
