History of the Organization |
We Care for Youth (WCFY) is a California
not-for-profit (501(c)(3)) organization. Since 1991, WCFY has
provided mentoring, character education, leadership training,
organizational management, pre-employment readiness training, even
planning, entrepreneurial instruction and activities, peace training
and activities to more than 9000 youth.
Incorporated in 1994, WCFY was founded in 1991 by Co-Executive
Directors, Linda Maxwell and Jose R. Quintanar. Volunteering with a
civic organization, Linda and Jose "adopted" 20 young women from
rival gangs. By demonstrating unconditional love, Linda and Jose,
worked to build the girls' self-confidence and got them on the right
track. Word spread about Linda and Jose's unique abilities to touch
and transform troubled youth, and Glendale schools and local law
enforcement agencies approached them for help with youth-related
issues.
