Mar Vista Family Center

The mission of the Mar Vista Family Center (MVFC) is to provide low-income families with quality preschool education, youth enrichment, and educational tools to create positive change in their lives and in their communities.

Every program adheres to the basic premise that it is critical to empower children, teens and adults to play vital and responsible roles – as decision makers, community leaders, mentors, classroom volunteers, and fundraisers – at MVFC.

MVFC currently operates 21 projects within three main program areas: Preschool, Youth and Community.

BREAKING NEWS:

Mar Vista Family Center announces a $300,000 Matching Grant from the Fineshriber Family Foundation.

Every year, 600 children and teens attend MVFC's effective Youth Programs, which encompass academics, leadership training, college prep, sports and the arts. Hundreds more youths, who have heard about MVFC's programs, have put their names on our waiting list, hoping that they too will be able to join.

With the generous help of the Fineshriber Family Foundation Matching Grant, we now have the incredible opportunity to expand our youth program by 50%, raising the number of youths served to 900 per year.

I would like to challenge old and new friends to make a generous donation to help the youths of our community. Your contribution, which will be matched one-to-one by the Fineshriber Family Foundation, will directly impact hundreds of deserving youths, getting them off of the streets and into MVFC's life-changing programs.

These youths can't wait!

Thank you,

Lucia Diaz, Chief Executive Officer
