About Wayfinder Family Services

For over 70 years, Wayfinder has been responding to the critical needs in the communities we serve. Through our services, we reach more than 21,000 individuals each year, from those who have vision loss or profound special needs to children in foster care — and their families.

The mission of Wayfinder Family Services is to ensure that children, youth and adults facing challenges always have a place to turn. Founded in 1953 as the Foundation for the Junior Blind, our programs initially provided blind and visually impaired children with opportunities to lead fuller and more independent lives. Today, we are a statewide organization that improves the health, well-being and quality of life for children, youth, adults and families who are facing difficult life and health circumstances.

We are the only human services organization in California with specialized programs for vulnerable children, youth and families AND individuals of every age with vision loss, or intellectual/developmental disabilities. We work beyond traditional silos and tackle the complex, intersecting issues faced by children and families. As Wayfinder Family Services, we stand in the gap and change the future, embracing the spirit of our name: we forge ahead, we find a way, whatever it takes.
