THE TAYLOR HOUSE: EMPOWERING YOUNG WOMEN FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE
At Supporting The Taylor House, Inc., our mission is to empower young women, ages 18-24, who have experienced foster care or are at risk by supporting their transition into adulthood. We provide life skills training, affordable housing, and a nurturing community where these young women feel seen, valued, and heard. By fostering confidence, discipline, and self-sufficiency, we help them build successful, independent lives. We believe in nurturing the whole person—physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially—by promoting self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to overcome challenges. Through the dedication of our staff, board, and volunteers, we provide the guidance and resources necessary for each young woman to thrive and create a brighter, self-reliant path forw
Located in downtown Roseville, we accept eight girls at a time, ages 18-24, referred to us from many sources, including social workers, community partners, Sierra College, probation officers, foster families, CASA, and local high schools. Our residents are responsible for maintaining the home, including paying rent, cooking meals, and organizing their living spaces. We also offer hands-on support for those starting with nothing of their own, providing essentials like bedding, towels, and groceries. Each resident creates a personalized goal plan that addresses her specific needs – including obtaining a driver’s license, opening a bank account, and improving job readiness skills. Through our Matching Car Program, we even help residents access a vehicle when they're ready for one. We also ensure that all legal and health documentation is in order, assisting with securing birth certificates and Social Security cards and addressing any medical or mental health needs.
OUR APPROACH
Our program is built on six key areas – Education, Employment, Health & Wellness, Interpersonal Skills, Transportation, and Financial Literacy - that guide our mission and ensure we remain focused on helping young women build skills and independence for a successful future. We meet each resident where they are in their journey, tailoring our support to address their unique needs and helping them thrive personally and professionally. We offer:
• Life Skills Training: We teach essential skills like budgeting, self-care, time management, and housekeeping to prepare for independent living.
• Health & Wellness Support: We ensure our residents' physical, emotional, and mental health needs are met, offering access to medical, dental, and mental health services.
• Financial Literacy: We help residents open checking and savings accounts, teaching them how to manage their finances and create a "survival number" to ensure financial stability.
• Employment Readiness: We support residents in building resumes, preparing for job interviews, and securing employment, providing hands-on support every step.
• Education Support: We assist residents in pursuing educational goals, whether completing high school, enrolling in GED programs, or exploring higher education opportunities, to create a foundation for long-term success. We have supported:
• Transportation Training: We teach residents how to navigate public transportation, access rideshare services, and understand basic transportation options. Additionally, we help residents prepare for and obtain their driver's licenses to enhance their mobility and independence for work, education, and personal needs.
• Interpersonal Development: We guide residents in enhancing communication, teamwork, problem-solving, adaptability, and emotional intelligence to help them navigate relationships, utilize community resources, and build positive connections with peers and mentors.

The Taylor House thrives through a combination of fundraising efforts, including signature events like the Big Day of Giving and our annual gala, which are vital to sustaining our operations and the programs that support the young women in our care. The funds raised through these events directly impact every aspect of our work, from daily operational costs to specific initiatives like the Resident Assistance Program, which provides essential services such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and access to medical and mental health care.
Our annual gala stands as a cornerstone of our fundraising efforts—a meticulously planned and eagerly anticipated event that attracts a wide community of supporters. The dedication of our Board Members is a key driver in its success, ensuring that our mission remains at the heart of all we do.
Equally important to our mission is the support of volunteers, whose contributions are invaluable. Whether providing practical assistance, such as transportation, or offering companionship and mentorship, volunteers amplify the efforts of our staff, enriching the lives of the girls we serve and enhancing the quality of support we can provide.
By engaging both volunteers and the broader community in our fundraising endeavors, the Taylor House is able to continue offering comprehensive resources that empower young women to live safely and confidently as they gain the skills necessary for a successful future.
Founded in 2012, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, operating without county, city, state, or federal funding. Our financial support comes from community organizations, individual donors, grants, and the proceeds from our annual gala. Every dollar raised is invested directly in the tools, resources, and opportunities that help our residents take the next steps toward independence—whether that’s securing a job, completing their education, or building the foundation for a thriving, self-sufficient future. Your support creates real, measurable change in their lives, helping them achieve their goals and unlock their full potential.
