Welcome to McKinley – Where Hope Illuminates Our Path! At McKinley, we are guided by the HUMAN values that resonate deeply within us. We are a team made up of compassionate individuals. We exemplify being HOPEFUL. We are UNDERSTANDING. We are MORAL, by treating everyone with respect. We are AWESOME, by recognizing the unique qualities in each person. We are NURTURING, to those in our communities who are in need of support or specialized care. Our organization believes in healing through connection. Our trauma-informed approach acknowledges the resilience within every individual, empowering them to harness the strength of their natural support systems. Originally founded as a residential facility for orphaned children over a century ago, we have grown and evolved into a multifaceted organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in our community. Mission: By inspiring hope, McKinley helps youth, families, adults and communities aspire to their highest potential through impactful services provided by a team of compassionate professionals fueled by our H.U.M.A.N. values. Our goal is healing, growing, and thriving together! We accomplish this by serving Southern California through multiple locations and a diverse range of programs, including Behavioral Health, Special Education, Foster Care and Adoptions, Residential Care, and a Shelter Program that reunites immigrant children with their families. Each of our programs embodies our unwavering commitment to building a brighter, more inclusive future. Side by side, we pave the way for transformation, one life at a time. We invite you to join us on our journey of hope, compassion, and transformation. Together, we can create a brighter future for our youth, families, and communities. Let's live the HUMAN values that will shape a better world!
