Our Mission
The Orphan Assistance Fund is committed to supporting foster and orphaned youth by harnessing the power of the student body. Through educational initiatives, mentorship, service, and advocacy, we aim to empower young leaders to make a positive impact and form meaningful connections within their local foster care community.
About Us
At the heart of OAF’s mission lies a desire to give back: OAF empowers high school students to alter the lives of foster and orphaned youth through fundraisers, item drives, and leadership roles. Initially the dream of 5 friends at Edison High School, OAF now spans across Orange Country through 16 student-led chapters and an ever-growing community of more than 400 members. With over $30,000 raised and 4,000 service hours accumulated, our endeavors have connected our students to children as local as OC to those living as far as Haiti and Kenya. Driven by a shared passion towards a common good, our members and the youth we serve continue to shape how the story of this organization unfolds.
