Back in 2001, while working within the LA County Foster System, founding members of the On Deck Foundation saw a huge need in LA County to help provide foster and adopted youth with more resources. To help fill the gaps, the On Deck Foundation was formed in November of 2002. Throughout the years, the foundation has provided housing, programs, clinics, unique experience's and connections for foster youth.
In 2022, we held our first clinic outside of California and decided to stay. We are excited of the new partnerships and opportunities for the youth of Montgomery County and surrounding communities.
Here in 2024, the needs extend outside the system walls and into our communities. On Deck's Programs, Staff & Donors have never been needed more.

In 2000, after seeing his first foster care facility, Founder Brett Pierce left professional baseball and got to work. Within the LA County Foster System, he has held multiple positions including childcare worker, instructional aid, mental health specialist and mental health coordinator. Since then, he has brought together Celebrities, Community Figures, Corporations and like minded organizations in an effort to give hope where there was not. Our team of professionals and volunteers understand how important their role is. For some youth, the best part of their days are during On Deck Foundation's programming. We are always looking for help. If you are interested in volunteering, becoming an instructor, joining our Advisory Board and more, please click below.

Here in 2024, the needs now extend outside system walls and into our homes and communities. Our vision, is too level the playing field.
Today, experiences, private instructors, camps, clinics, leagues, tournaments, equipment, etc., have eliminated a huge percentage of our youth able to participate due to fees and costs. This is unacceptable. ODF hopes to identify and provide for this population within our communities.
