Linda Schroeder was a resident of southern California and employee of the California Youth Authority, which is now known as the California Division of Juvenile Justice. The California Youth Authority began in 1941 with the passage of the California Youth Authority Act. Three years after the passage of the act, the California Youth Authority began their operations, providing training and parole supervision to troubled juveniles. Linda Schroeder was the placement officer for the Ventura School for Girls in the late 1930s and 1940s, a reformatory that was taken over by the California Youth Authority in 1942. In 1954 she became a staff member at the California Youth Authority's Southern Reception Center and Clinic, which still functions today as a reception center and clinic that houses and provides diagnostic services for troubled male youth. She was also an active member of the California State Employees Association during their efforts to get the state of California to amend the Social Security Act.
