Sierra Forever Families

Mission

Sierra Forever Families was founded in 1983 to transform the lives of children in foster care by building and nurturing permanent families. We are currently celebrating our 30^th anniversary and that over 3,000 children have secured a forever home through our agency.

Belief:

We believe that no child should grow up in temporary care and that ALL children need a family to call their own.

We believe this because within 2 to 4 years of emancipating from foster care:

- Over 65% of young women have been pregnant or had a child

- Over 50% have not completed high school, or homeless, in prison or dead

- Former foster youth are now the number one users of the homeless shelter system in California.

Join Us:

We hope that you will join us in changing these outcomes by becoming a family, mentoring , volunteering or by donating.
