The mission of the Sheriff's Youth Foundation is to offer at-risk youth in economically underprivileged neighborhoods the opportunity to grow and develop the tools needed to succeed in life. Young people in the Foundation's program interact with positive role models from the Sheriff's Department and the local community in activities that contribute to strengthening character and self-esteem, building a positive view of the future, and gain the confidence needed to resist negative influences.
Ryan has also been honored recently by Habitat for Humanity during the closing ceremonies of the Jimmy Carter Work Project in Los Angeles. He recently became co-chair of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles "Building a Greater L.A." campaign to build or renovate 250 homes in the next three years along with Honorary co-chairs California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Ryan is also working diligently with Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters and every year hosts "Magic of the Match" carnival held at Camp Max Straus. He will be launching a drama program for Camp Max Strauss as well. For many years now Ryan has been a champion of children's causes, lending a helping hand where one is so desperately needed and using his position in the Hollywood limelight to direct attention to these worthy causes.
