Youth Centers of Orange in the City of Orange, California, has created a space where children and parents of all walks, including those struggling with homelessness and without needed support, have a place to turn.

Founded by Edgar Garnica and Joanna Fermin, the organization does more than provide after-school care for low-income families.
