Helping children and families navigate some of life's most difficult challenges is complex work. It takes dedicated people, strong partnerships, and organizations willing to work together to make sure they have the support they need.

That's why we're proud to be one of 87 member organizations of the Association of Community Human Service Agencies (ACHSA), which brings together organizations across Los Angeles County to advocate for and strengthen services for children and families.

Recently, Aviva's leadership team joined our partners for ACHSA's Annual Celebration of Community, recognizing the people and organizations doing this important work.

We're grateful to be in such good company.

A statement from Aviva President and CEO, Amber Rivas.

We had some very special trick-or-treaters at Aviva HQ this Halloween!

The kids from Wallis House stopped by for some candy and Halloween fun with our staff. And we just have to say it—their costumes were BOO-tiful!

We loved getting to celebrate with them and share a little holiday magic right here at Aviva. 🎃

What do Bad Bunny, Miss Piggy, and a royal flush all have in common?

They were all at our annual Halloween Party!

Aviva staff took some well-deserved time to enjoy tacos, games, and each other's company. While there was some truly creative costuming all around, we’d like to congratulate Ghost Rider, Maleficent, Bad Bunny, and Korean BBQ for being the people’s favorite.

Huge thanks to our party planning committee (aka the Toy Story crew) for putting this spooktacular event together.

Aviva proudly supports Supervisor Janice Hahn’s motion to proclaim November as National Family Caregivers Month in Los Angeles County.

At Aviva, we work closely with caregivers and see firsthand the tremendous responsibilities they take on. We're glad to see greater attention being brought to their contributions.

Aviva President & CEO Amber Rivas shared the following written statement in support of the motion at this week's Board of Supervisors meeting:

“Caregivers play an essential role in our society, ensuring that children, youth, older adults, and loved ones receive the care and stability they need to thrive. At Aviva Family & Children’s Services, we see firsthand the extraordinary commitment of caregivers including foster parents, relative caregivers and trusted community members. These individuals open their hearts and homes to children and youth, often navigating complex challenges to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.

Aviva proudly supports this motion as it not only recognizes caregivers but will go a step further to ensure they have access to the resources and support systems they need—not only to care for others, but to maintain their own well-being and lead fulfilling lives.

We applaud Supervisor Janice Hahn for bringing forward this motion and reaffirm our commitment to building a community where caregivers feel seen, valued, and supported.”

Two years ago today we opened the Lifting Youth Up Drop-In Center. The space was designed to fill a critical gap: providing a safe, welcoming place for young people to go in the evening, when many other services have closed for the day.

Today, we’re open seven days a week and are one of only two centers that are open in the evening. Last year, we were visited by area youth 8,300 times, proving that this space was indeed needed in the community.

Youth come in for very practical reasons: a meal, a shower, clean clothes, laundry, hygiene supplies, help finding a job or staying in school, mental health support, or help navigating housing and other services. And sometimes they come simply because they need a safe place to sit, recharge and be around people who care about them.

Thank you to everyone who helped us open the center and to our staff and supporters that keep it running.

It’s never too early to start planning for the holidays!

Each year, Aviva’s community comes together to make sure the children and youth we serve have gifts to open during the holiday season. One of the biggest ways you can help is by hosting a toy drive with your company, school, organization or community group.

There was plenty of laughter, lots of catching up with old friends, and new connections made at our annual Platinum Associates Luncheon yesterday!

Our Plats enjoyed time together, a great meal, and the chance to hear from Ivette Hurtado, an Aviva alum who shared how Aviva has helped her create a new story for her life.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the afternoon so special.

Platinum Associates are some of Aviva’s most dedicated supporters, and their commitment helps make it possible for us to be there for children, youth and families across Los Angeles when they need us.
