Celebrating 125 Years of Transforming Lives! 

At Stanford Sierra Youth & Families (SSYAF), we have been committed to permanency and the empowerment of youth and families since 1900.

We believe each and every child deserves the love, safety, and unconditional commitment of a family and the opportunity to develop as a healthy and happy young adult.

Through a continuum of care, we empower youth and families to overcome challenges together, as well as connect youth in foster care to the permanent loving families they need and deserve. We support the entire family with professional treatment and compassionate care, so every youth has the opportunity to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.

Within our programs, SSYAF serves over 2,832 youth annually. Comprehensive services and support are extended to their siblings and caregivers, creating a broader reach of a combined 7,087 youth and families served throughout Northern California counties. 

Mission

Transforming lives by nurturing permanent connections and empowering families to solve challenges together, so every young person can thrive.

Needs

For 125 years, we have been empowering youth, breaking down stigma, and providing critical support for children and families in our community. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us in ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 to support youth in foster care and other vulnerable children. Your support helps provide essential resources, advocacy, and the programs that make a lasting impact.

Unrestricted funding is especially impactful, allowing us to direct support where it’s needed most.
