In 1965, a group of Greek Orthodox priests and laity in the Los Angeles area saw the ever-increasing suffering of children, particularly young boys, who were slipping through the cracks. In 1966, this group renovated a ranch style home in Yucaipa, California and opened the Guadalupe Home for Boys to six troubled boys.
Today, Trinity operates six residential campuses, and nine foster care offices in California, Nevada and Texas, and works in conjunction with nine schools operated by AES. Trinity Youth Services and AES serve more than fifteen hundred children on a daily basis, and have helped tens of thousands of children of every ethnicity and religion since we opened that one small home in Yucaipa.
The hard work of our dedicated staff of approximately 900 social workers, child care workers, administrative staff, therapists, and affiliated AES educators, as well as the generosity and aid from thousands of volunteer and donors, has made the Trinity a leader in the children's services arena.
