Mental health is the foundation everything else is built on. That’s why Global Development
Foundation connects Glendale and LA families with licensed mental health professionals
who offer counseling, crisis support, and ongoing care.
We know reaching out is hard. Our Mental Health Support Services are designed to make that first step easier
Mental health is the foundation everything else is built on. That’s why Global Development
Foundation connects Glendale and LA families with licensed mental health professionals

We know reaching out is hard. Our Mental Health Support Services are designed to make that first step easier — with resources that meet people where they are, not where a program assumes they should be.

Cancer Support Program.
A cancer diagnosis affects far more than the person carrying it — it reshapes entire families.
Our Health and Wellness program was built around that reality.
We provide informational sessions, emotional support groups, and practical resources for
patients and caregivers across the LA area, so no one has to navigate treatment and
recovery alone.

Every person deserves a community built around their full participation — not their limitations. Our Disability Services Program partners with individuals and families in
Glendale and beyond to expand access, remove barriers, and support independence.
From resource navigation to community education, we work toward a Los Angeles where
inclusion isn’t an afterthought.

Families raising a child on the autism spectrum often spend as much energy fighting for
resources as they do supporting their child. We want to change that math.
Our Autism Support Services offer individualized plans, family resources, and community connection — built around each person’s actual needs, not a one-size-fits-all model.

A strong education opens doors that stay open for life. Our Education and Literacy programs bring after-school tutoring, reading support, and learning resources directly to students across Glendale and Los Angeles.
We focus on equitable access — because a child’s zip code shouldn’t determine their opportunities.

Movement builds more than fitness — it builds confidence, discipline, and community. Our Sport and Recreation programs give people of all ages in the LA area a place to be active,
learn teamwork, and belong to something.
From youth leagues to community fitness events, we make participation the priority, not the podium.

Some of the most powerful community moments happen on a stage. Our Performance
Opportunities give individuals and local organizations a platform to share their talents, collaborate on projects, and connect with the Glendale and LA community in a public, celebratory way.
Whether you’re performing, volunteering, or partnering with us, there’s a role for you here.

Creativity is one of the most direct paths to connection. Our Arts and Culture initiatives give young people across Los Angeles the tools to explore visual art, music, and performance —while building cultural understanding across our diverse communities.
We don’t just teach technique. We build confidence.

Every community carries stories worth preserving. Through our Cultural Heritage Projects,
we document the histories of Glendale-area elders — capturing traditions, challenges, and
triumphs before they’re lost to time.
These oral histories become a living archive, connecting younger generations to the roots of
their community.

Change takes resources, and resources take community support. Our fundraising events —
including galas, auctions, community runs, and local festivals — directly fund the programs above.
Our charity events go a step further, spotlighting specific causes and needs within the
Glendale and LA community, building awareness alongside financial support.

Financial hardship shouldn’t mean going without the basics. Our Clothing Donation Program invites the Glendale and Los Angeles community to give gently used clothing a second life—providing real, immediate support to families facing financial strain.
Every donation goes directly back into the hands of neighbors who need it.
