Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF)

The mission of the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF) is to provide for the socio-economic betterment of the greater Latino community of California, while preserving the pride, values and heritage of the Mexican American culture. This is accomplished through programs in early childhood education and family services, job training, and senior lifestyle development throughout the multi-cultural communities served by MAOF.

MAOF service programs include, but are not limited to: Child Care and Development (infant and toddler program, child care centers, state preschools, Head Start centers, and a network of child care providers), Resource and Referral, Alternative Payment programs (CalWORKS, Stages 1,2,3), senior and disabled services (Handyworker, Home Secure, and Senior Hispanic Information and Assistance Services), Welfare to Work employment services (job training and assistance), Youth programs (including foster youth), a Food Bank, Financial Literacy and computer literacy education.

Since its inception, MAOF has provided services to the largest and fastest growing segment of the population and has advocated for the advancement of the Mexican American community. While MAOF's services are open to all eligible individuals, changing demographics clearly place our organization in a unique position to work with government entities and Corporate America to respond to the specific service needs and challenges of all Californians.
