"The best thing about working at OFY is helping kids be successful in school and life. For some of them, this is their first taste of success. Those students are the most rewarding to work with." -Bob Schroeder, teacher at Hesperia 2

"My favorite thing about teaching at Options For Youth is the relationship the students have with their teacher. For many of them it is the first time they have been accountable to someone for the work they are doing and the grades they are receiving. This relationship often makes them want to succeed in a way they never experienced at the schools." -Lynda Sylvester, teacher at La Crescenta


"I am fortunate enough to wake up each morning knowing that I have the privilege of serving some of the greatest kids in LA." -Summer Weiss, teacher at Burbank 2

"I've never given much thought about my dreams until I started working at Options For Youth. It is nice to work for a company/school that cares about their employees' and students' dreams and goals. It feels great to work for a school that actually makes a difference in people's lives." -Tiffany Truong, teacher at Burbank 2
