Assisteens are auxiliaries of Assistance League chapters that encourage and provide volunteer opportunities for young people in grades seven through 12. The Assisteens at Assistance League of Flintridge (ALF) was established in 1967 and since then the local communities have greatly benefited from the philanthropic endeavors of the student-governed group. The goals are to uplift youth, to engage in community service and to develop a sense of personal responsibility, self-reliance, public speaking and leadership skills.

The group meets one day a month during the school year to work on projects with opportunities on other days as they come up. Assisteens also staff the Bargain Box Thrift Shop on Saturdays. Meetings are held at Assistance League of Flintridge, 4607 Oakwood Ave., La Cañada Flintridge. Students from La Cañada Flintridge and the nearby foothill communities are welcome to sign up.

Registration is now open for the 2024-25 Assisteens season that runs from August to May. For more information, visit the ALF website at ALFlintridge.org or contact ALF at (818) 790-2211.
