WHERE WE DO OUR WORK

The Pro Deo Foundation works and runs programs in Orange County and Santa Barbara County.

THE NEED


Santa Barbara and Orange County are beautiful places, surrounded by beaches and mountains, but in the midst of their natural beauty, there is also a lot of pain and struggle and the needs of its residents are real and often overlooked.

 

Santa Barbara and Orange County are also home to:

Hidden Poverty

Over 1-4 children in Orange County and Santa Barbara County live below the poverty line, which are some of the highest in the state and is often hidden in plain sight.

Students Who Are Falling Behind 

Many students are not able to keep up. In some cases, up to 70% of students do not meet grade standards in math and English. 

Limited Options For Many Students

A significant opportunity gap exists in our local communities, causing an achievement gap, which creates a lack of options after high school for many students .

CREATING PATHWAYS

Recognizing and naming the need is only the beginning.

 

We are committed to finding solutions and creating new pathways that allow children, youth, and their families to flourish.
