Stanford Sierra Youth & Families

Creating Safe, Loving Futures for Every Child

At Stanford Sierra Youth & Families (SSYAF), 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 3,085 youth annually. Comprehensive services and support are extended to their siblings and caregivers, creating a broader reach of a combined 7,712 youth and families served throughout Northern California counties.
