About Us
Flintridge Overview

Mission:

To build hope and resilience in the lives of youth and their families in Northwest Pasadena and West Altadena. We work in partnership with the community to provide life-changing services and to act as a catalyst for pragmatic solutions that reduce community violence, improve academic achievement, and launch career paths for the benefit of the greater Pasadena/Altadena area.

Vision: A healthy, safe community where families thrive, youth reach their full potential, and equality and opportunity are accessible to all.

For more than 25 years, Flintridge’s work and activities have been shaped by the community and its needs.

Our priorities are:

  1. Developing practical and collaborative solutions to reduce community violence, including providing vocational training and workforce opportunities to deter gang involvement.
  2. Providing learning and enrichment opportunities that support the positive development of children and youth, with a focus on improving student achievement at Washington Middle School and John Muir High School.
  3. Providing tools, training and guidance to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations and community leaders to meet the comprehensive needs of children, youth and families.
  4. Mobilizing, coordinating and providing an administrative framework for community partnerships to address challenges, create change and respond to new opportunities.
