That shared purpose is what defines its culture.    Orangewood is the only organization in Orange County that provides comprehensive wrap-around services for vulnerable teens and young adults\, spanning housing\, life skills & employment\, education\, and basic needs and support. To date\, Orangewood has provided more than 12\,700 hot meals\, secured housing for over 290 young adults\, and awarded more than 270 scholarships.

The nonprofit expanded benefits and advocated for equitable compensation. It has also invested in employee well-being\, offering training in psychological safety\, inclusive leadership and social agility\, along with access to mental health resources like Headspace. Even staff meetings have been reimagined to reflect the organization’s core values of inclusion and emotional intelligence\, reinforcing a culture where employees feel seen\, heard and supported.    One employee shared this comment about their experience\, “Orangewood Foundation truly believes in the mission and vision statement of the organization.
