Incorporated in 1973, Lifeline was founded by community volunteers passionate about making a difference in the lives of local youth. Fifty years later, this remains our focus as we continue to provide cutting-edge, trauma-informed, community-based programming. 

After 16 dedicated years of serving as CEO, Don Stump will retire from Lifeline at the end of 2023. Don has guided and grown Lifeline into an organization that serves and connects with over 25,000 people per year; furthering our mission to build self-reliance among youth, adults, and families through high quality, community-based services. Join with us in congratulating Don and thanking him for his service to Lifeline and the San Diego community.
