Kidsave Los Angeles volunteers to support children in foster care and connect them with caring adults.

Kidsave is a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to helping children grow up connected to caring adults. The group offers various volunteer opportunities for individuals and faith-based organizations to assist families and children in the foster care system. Volunteers can become buddies to children separated from their parents, mentor youth, host children on weekends and holidays, or donate monthly to support their needs. For faith-based groups, opportunities include posting flyers, making brochures available, hosting adoption matching events, or inviting foster youth to church activities. The organization works to ensure that children in care have allies who advocate for their best interests, helping them navigate key life areas such as finding permanent placement, school, health, and mental health services. To become a volunteer, interested individuals should contact the Adoption Division at Ruth Kame via email with their full name, phone number, and area of interest. Faith-based organizations seeking to support children in DCFS foster care can reach out to Ivonne Crescioni for more information on how to get involved. Kidsave operates with a mission to prevent children from growing up alone by fostering meaningful connections and support networks within the community.
