Oak Grove Center is a nonprofit serving at-risk and special needs youth through Residential Care, Education, and Treatment.

The work we do today builds a better tomorrow. Learn more at www.oakgrovecenter.org. Oak Grove is a nonprofit 24-hour residential and educational treatment center that serves 76 children who live on campus and an additional 80-90 day students who attend our nonpublic school day program. Oak Grove is located in Murrieta, Southwest Riverside County. Oak Grove also operates a second campus in Perris, Oak Grove at the Ranch, serving an additional 50 students. Children and youth are admitted with a variety of psychological, social, emotional, behavioral, medical and neurological problems with concurrent behavioral difficulties, school problems, family dysfunction and alcohol or substance abuse. Many of the children have suffered physical and/or sexual abuse, other traumas or experienced many other social, emotional or behavioral challenges. We have a diverse program that provides many enrichment opportunities in the area of sports, recreation, performing, literary and visual arts, as well as job training and a practical focus on what it takes to be successful in relationships and in life.

So proud of our young creators! 🎨📚

The kids in the ASB Club designed their very own bookmarks to help spread the joy of reading and support the importance of education. Every page turned is a new adventure — and now, a little more colorful thanks to them! 😍📖

🏈 Building confidence and having fun one drill at a time! 🏈

Thank you for coming out to our field and running a football clinic with our kiddos! 🌞 From stretches, drills, football passes, and communication the kids really enjoyed themselves!

Youth who participate in our sports program are likely to stay in school and stay out of trouble. The population of kids we serve right now are really into sports and staying active. This was the perfect way allowing them to get their energy out, build teamwork skills, and have fun. 🙌🏼

Thanks again for your generosity and leadership!

Turning 4 and giving back 💚

Proof that even the smallest hearts can make the biggest difference 🎂✨ Happy Birthday JT!

Grandma not only gifted him his favorite things but also gifted him with a meaningful experience. She took him shopping for generic boy size clothes so he can donate them to our Dorm B youth as part of his birthday celebration!
